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

On 08Apr2024, 2 hours after application, the 1.7 year old, 9.2 kilogram, neutered male, Bichon Frise dog had generalized pruritus and was hyperactive. The pet owner bathed the dog with an unspecified shampoo. On 09Apr2024 the dog was seen by the veterinarian and had skin irritation at the base of the tail (this was not an application site), and continued to be hyperactive. The dog was prescribed a triamcinolone - neomycin - nystatin - gramicidin cream for the skin irritation. The veterinarian recommended bathing the dog with dish soap and applying Vitamin E to the application sites. The outcome of this case is unknown. The veterinarian's suspicion that K9 advantix II Medium Dog (Permethrin, Imidacloprid, Pyriproxyfen) has a causal association with the clinical signs is unknown. Please note the dog had the same product applied in 2023 without issue.
