(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On July 20, 2014 the owner noticed the dog's neck and face was swollen. The owner took the dog to the veterinary clinic, where the attending veterinarian gave lidocaine (remicaine). The owner returned home where they removed the collar and bathed the dog. On July 21, 2014 the edema had ended and the dog had fully recovered. On August 1, 2014 the attending veterinarian called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated this product has a wide margin of safety. The APSS veterinarian also stated some animals may react to the plastic. The APSS veterinarian further stated she would not expect edema though, especially over a month later. The APSS assistant recommended calling back with questions.
Moderate
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation.
