(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On July 30, 2014 shortly after the product was applied, the cats became symptomatic. The owner took the cats to the veterinarian where they gave an injection (owner believes for epilepsy) to both cats. The attending veterinarian recommended the owner bathe the cats with liquid dish washing detergent and monitor the cats at home for 48 hours, which the owner did when they got home. On July 31, 2014 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated seizures are not expected. The APSS assistant recommended having the veterinarian call for information, call back with questions, and consider hair testing.
