(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).
Minor
On May 9, 2015 an APSS technician called the owner to follow up on the case. The owner stated that the dog greatly improved after the bath with LDWD and she had not applied vitamin E or used a cold compress. The dog's hyperactivity, agitation, pruritus all ended on May 8, 2015 and the erythema became mild.
