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

History: Caller received a letter from a lady that said her cat died and the veterinarian reportedly indicated an anticoagulant was involved. The lady checked the neighborhood and the only house that was using rat bait was a house treated by caller. Caller used Weatherblok and only put them in bait stations. He has seen very little feeding and not observed any dead rats in he area. Information Provided: According to the experts and our experience it is highly unlikely that the cat died from eating mice or rats which ingested Brodifacoum. I supplied the letter on secondary poisoning written by the rodent expert, and asked caller to let me know if he received any other information on the cat death.
