Treatment / Traitement
(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On October 18, 2009 the owner noticed the cat was a little depressed and may have had a fever. The signs seemed to be resolving, but on October 22, 2009 the owner found the cat dead. On October 23, 2009 the owner took the cat into the regular veterinarian for a physical exam and returned the unused product to the place of purchase. The APSS veterinarian stated methoprene is an insect growth regulator and with dermal exposure via use of spot on products, signs are not expected. She also stated that oral exposure from grooming may result in a taste reaction, but more significant signs are not expected. She stated that this cat's illness and demise are not likely related to product use due to the timing of onset of illness and death several days later. The APSS veterinarian recommended a necropsy, which was not available as the body was cremated shortly after death, and to obtain addition information from the regular veterinarian.

The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On November 3, 2009 an APSS veterinarian called the veterinary clinic to follow up the case. The regular veterinarian stated that the cat was examined on November 1, 2008 for pruritus and that the cat had experienced weight loss between that date and the time of death. He also stated that there were no apparent external lesions, and a postmortem exam was not done.
