(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-41197134 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to an insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredients pyrethrins, n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and piperonyl butoxide. The reporter shampooed her 9-year-old, 20 pound, female Jack Russell Terrier with the shampoo seven days prior to initial contact with the registrant. The following day the pet owner noted raw and bleeding spots in various places on the dog. At the time of the initial call, the dog was still biting at her skin and some of the affected areas were the size of a silver dollar. The reporter was advised that there are numerous possible causes for the described symptoms but it may be that her dog has a sensitivity to the product. Due to the persistence of the described symptoms medical attention was recommended. The reporter could not be reached on routine follow-up attempts. No additional information is available.
