(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 14, 2015 the cat developed symptoms, so the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated the risk is for a taste reaction, vomiting, and diarrhea. The APSS assistant recommended monitoring the cat at home for gastrointestinal (GI) signs (monitor for vomiting and diarrhea over the next 12-24 hours and call back if more than mild), providing a taste treat (give tuna juice, wet food, or dry food), and monitoring for dermatological signs (monitor for redness, irritation, or itching if seen, bathe with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD)). The APSS assistant also recommended giving nothing by mouth (if vomits, nothing by mouth (NPO) 30 minutes), bathing the cat (with LDWD if dermal irritation is seen or if still squinting in 1 hour), calling back with questions, and calling the veterinarian (follow up with regular veterinarian for another product to kill adult fleas and to treat the home).
Minor
Signs were expected to be mild and self-limiting.
