1-16335327: The reporter called on 6/27/08 to report the application of a topical flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Tetrachlorvinphos to his 4 month old kitten the previous evening. According to the reporter, the kitten had become lethargic and ataxic about 1 hour prior to the call. By the time of the call, the kitten had been bathed and a veterinarian had been called as the kitten was still symptomatic. A recommendation was made to have the kitten evaluated by the veterinarian. A follow-up call on 7/1 revealed the kitten had been seen by a veterinarian, given unknown treatments, and then released with a 50/50 prognosis for survival. According to the reporter, the kitten had become paralyzed as of 6/28 and had passed away by the morning of 6/29/08.
