(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 2, 2014 the cat became symptomatic. A little later the owner rinsed the cat's coat/skin with water and then shortly after contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated the risk is for mild, self-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) upset and for mild-moderate, self-limiting, dermal hypersensitivity/paresthesia ("pins and needles" feeling). The APSS assistant recommended bathing the cat (liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD)), providing thermoregulation (wrap in warm towel until dry), offering food (give something to eat after bath), monitoring the cat at home (if signs are not improving call back or take to a veterinarian), calling back with questions.
Moderate
On November 3, 2014 the owner called the APSS and stated the cat did not improve after the bath and the cat has not eaten anything. The APSS veterinarian recommended taking the cat to the veterinarian and having the veterinarian call for information. On November 8, 2014 the APSS assistant contacted the owner to follow-up on the case. The owner stated she was not able to take the pet into the vet due to finances and she continued to treat the cat at home and gave the pet another bath. The owner stated the pet fully recovered between November 4 and 5, 2014.
