(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On April 20, 2013 the owner observed that the cat was symptomatic, the signs resolved soon after the owner removed the collar from the cat. The next day, April 21, 2013, the owner placed the collar back on the cat, and the cat began licking his lips again for a short time; once again, the signs resolved shortly after the owner removed the collar from the cat and the cat remained asymptomatic since that time. On April 22, 2013 the owner's regular veterinarian contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that most likely the cat was able to lick the collar, resulting in a taste reaction; it was also possible that the cat was bothered by the odor of the collar. The APSS veterinarian said that no significant signs would be expected, and no treatment was indicated at that time. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner's regular veterinarian call back with questions.
