(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On May 12, 2013 the owner noticed that the dog was symptomatic. On May 13, 2013 the owner bathed the dog twice with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD). Later that evening, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that permethrins and pyrethroids can cause a tingling sensation to the skin.The APSS veterinarian also stated that some animals are more sensitive to the ingredients than others, and may experience rolling, hiding, vocalization, clingy behavior, lethargy, reluctance to move, or have an abnormal gait (ex. take a few steps, stop, sit down and turn quickly toward their tail). The APSS veterinarian said that signs often resolve after bathing and with topical applications of vitamin E and cool compresses, but may take up to 24 to 72 hours. The APSS veterinarian also said that oral exposures could lead to hypersalivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner bathe the dog, apply vitamin E to the application, apply cold compresses, give the dog a taste treat of tuna juice in water or possibly ice cubes to keep the dog hydrated, take the dog to the veterinarian if signs persisted for another 12 hours, and call back with questions.
