(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Shortly after the product was applied, the dog became symptomatic. The owner then rinsed the dog and bathed with Dawn dish soap. Soon after the bath, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated that significant clinical signs are not expected from the per-label use of this agent. The APSS veterinarian also stated that if the agent got in the dog's eye, irritation and secondary corneal damage are possible. The APSS assistant recommended the owner flush the dog's eyes (very gently, rinse eye with water for a couple minutes), monitor at home (for further swelling/redness), take the dog to a veterinarian (if eye does not improve), and call back with questions (if swelling/redness persists). While on hold, the owner started rinsing the dog's eye with water and the eye appeared to be less swollen.
