(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On August 9, 2015 the dog developed symptoms. So later that afternoon the owner bathed the dog and applied neomycin polymyxin B and bacitracin ointment onto the application site, the pruritis then ended. On August 10, 2015 the dog developed a scab at the application site. On August 11, 2015 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated the ingredients in this agent have a good margin of safety in dogs. The APSS veterinarian also stated a dermal reaction can be seen in sensitive individuals. The APSS veterinarian finally stated with the dermal lesion resolving would not expect anorexia of this duration. The APSS technician recommended taking the dog to the veterinarian, having the veterinarian call for information, and calling back with questions.
Minor
On August 13, 2015 the owner contacted the APSS and stated that the dog's skin signs have persisted and the crust on the skin is about 1/4 inch thick. The owner wondered if there was anything else she should be doing at home. The APSS veterinarian stated that the crust may be a scab that hasn't fully healed yet or there may be another issue compounding the matter. The APSS veterinarian recommended having the dog checked out by a veterinarian and having the clinic call for further information.
