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

On May 6, 2015 the dog developed symptoms. On May 7, 2015 the owner gave the dog diphenhydramine (a little less than 1 milliliter (mL) of 6.2 milligram (mg) per 5 mL ending up with a dose of 0.03 mg/kg.) The owner then gave the dog another bath (using baking soda) and the dog developed erythema. The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated sounds most like a paresthesia like reaction, suspect the reddened skin is secondary to the pruritus/scratching. The APSS technician recommended bathing the dog (using liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD), applying vitamin E (to the application site), applying a cold compress, calling back with questions, and taking the dog to the veterinarian (if redness continues after an hour).
