(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 21, 2013 the owner noticed that the dog was symptomatic. The dog had fully recovered on September 22, 2013. About 3 hours after being given another dose of the product on October 25, 2013 the owner noticed that the dog had pruritus. On October 29, 2013 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that the main concern was for dermal hypersensitivity. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner monitor the dog at home, bathe the dog with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD), apply vitamin E to the application site, discontinue product usage, call her regular veterinarian to discuss other products that might be used to treat the dog's fleas, and call back with questions.
