Treatment / Traitement
(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On December 30, 2016 the owner noticed the cat was lethargic and had a behavior change (did not use the litter box). Later that day, the owner found the cat dead (when she came home from work). The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) as she believes the product killed her cat and wants the company to know. The APSS veterinarian stated s-methoprene is an insect growth regulator (IGR) and primary concerns from topical administration are for mild dermal irritation and redness, usually from the carriers and if ingested there could be hypersalivation and nausea. The APSS veterinarian also stated etofenprox is in the pyrethroid family, and is safe to use on cats and dogs. The owner disagreed with the APSS veterinarian and wanted the company to know as she believes the product should be taken off the market. The APSS veterinarian referred the owner to the manufacturer (to discuss product questions) and let the owner know the company would receive a copy of the medical record. The APSS veterinarian also recommended calling back with questions.
Mort
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. The APSS veterinarian called the owner back on December 30, 2016 and offered a necropsy. The owner declined as the cat's body had already been buried and she was not interested in a necropsy. The APSS veterinarian recommended calling back with questions.
