(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On March 21, 2014 right after the owner applied the product to the cat, the cat began hypersalivating and displaying a behavior change. Later that afternoon the veterinary clinic called the Animal Product Safety Service. The clinic staff stated the cat was not in the clinic and they were on the phone with the owner. The APSS veterinarian stated if ingested there is risk for a taste reaction, drooling, agitation, or lethargy, vomiting, and anorexia may be seen, but should be self limiting. The APSS veterinarian recommended monitoring the cat at home, providing a taste treat and dilution, monitoring for gastrointestinal (GI) signs, bathing the cat with liquid dish detergent, and calling back with questions.
