1-35014487 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredients pyrethrins, n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and piperonyl butoxide and to an unknown registrant flea and tick drop with unknown active ingredients. The pet owner applied the flea and tick drops to her 1-year-old, female Siamese cat one month prior to initial contact with the registrant. After application the cat had fur loss, bleeding and skin irritation at the application site which the pet owner treated with topical triple antibiotic ointment. Two weeks after the cat had been treated with the spot-on flea and tick product, the cats flea burden worsened, so the reporter shampooed her cat with the registrant flea and tick shampoo. After the bath, over the course of a week, the reporter stated that her cat became increasingly lethargic, stopped eating and then passed away at home. The reporter did not seek veterinary care. The reporter also stated that she had recently had 26 cats in her home but was now down to only 9 cats and all of them are chronically infested with fleas. The reporter was advised that some cats are sensitive to the spot-on product and can develop hair loss and dermal irritation at the application site after exposure. But progressive lethargy, anorexia and death would not occur 3 weeks after exposure to a spot-on product nor would these symptoms be expected from exposure to the flea and tick shampoo. There are numerous possible causes for the described symptoms, including a severe flea burden, and without pre-mortem or post mortem diagnostics the cause for the cats death is unknown. No further information is available.
