(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
After applying the product on September 17, 2018, the owner saw the cat lick himself. Immediately, the cat became symptomatic. A few minutes later, the owner bathed the cat (washed with Palmolive) and the cat's hypersalivation ended. The owner also gave the cat 1/2 a teaspoon (tsp) of butter and cat food. The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated that the risk is for gastrointestinal (GI) upset, taste reaction. The APSS assistant recommended the owner monitor at home, monitor for GI signs (watch for vomiting over the next 4-6 hours, and soft stool or diarrhea over the next 12-24 hours. Call back if more than mild occurs.), manage vomiting (nothing by mouth (NPO) for 30 mins. Reintroduce water slowly. If no vomiting, reintroduce food.), monitor for CNS signs (watch for trembling for 72 hours, call back if seen), monitor for signs (watch for signs of paresthesia such as drooling or behavior changes, call back if seen), and to call back with questions.
