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

On May 20, 2016 the cat became symptomatic, so the owner removed the collar. The owner then put the collar back onto the cat on May 23, 2016. The collar went missing around between June 2, 2016 and June 3, 2016. On June 3, 2016 the owner consulted with the veterinarian. On June 16, 2016 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to report the case to the company. The owner declined consultation with an APSS veterinarian as the scabby area is healing. The APSS veterinarian stated the risk is for contact dermatitis especially if fur/skin becomes wet under a collar. The APSS technician recommended having the veterinarian call for information and calling back with questions.
