(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 1, 2012, immediately after the owner placed the collar on the dog, the owner noticed that the dog was symptomatic. On November 3, 2012 the owner removed the dog's collar. On November 7, 2012 the owner took the dog to the veterinarian. A short time later that day, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS technician stated that the risk would typically be for dermal hypersensitivity, although mild gastrointestinal (GI) upset would be possible because the product contains a carbamate. The APSS technician also stated that without an oral exposure, signs were not expected to be as significant as those the dog was experiencing. The APSS technician recommended that the owner have her veterinarian call for information and call back with questions.
