The APSS veterinarian stated ocular irritation would only be expected if the freshly applied product got into the dog's eyes. The owner also stated she had recently switched the dog's food. The APSS assistant recommended the owner take the dog to the veterinarian, have the veterinarian call for information, and call back with questions.
