(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
History: Caller used the product on 5 cats -- four 12 week old kittens and the mother of the kittens. Product was used on July 21st around 5PM, she left the house at 7PM, and at that time they were OK. She got home at 11PM, and three of the kittens were seizing and were ice cold. She got warm towels and warm water bottles to warm them up and they continued to seize, she brought them to the (name) clinic. The vet gave them shots to help, some catheters, and IV's. The next morning (7/22) the clinic called around 10AM to tell her that "Runt" had passed away. She picked up the other kittens this morning and they seem to doing well, they have a little diarrhea but are otherwise OK. Caller has looked online and is wondering why Hartz is selling this if it has been documented to kill cats? Also wondering about reimbursement? Assessment: - Apologize for the loss of the kitten - Discussed necropsy with caller, she will contact the (name) clinic when they open this evening. - Please have the DVM clinic contact us for necropsy forms and information. - It will also be very helpful if you are able to locate the product container and inform us of the exact product used prior to sending off the necropsy information - Continue to follow up with the DVM staff as to the treatment of the other kittens 07/25/07 Follow-up Owner calling back. The symptomatic cats went to the (name)Clinic and stayed for 1.5 days. They have been home for a couple days and are doing well. Product info provided: UPC: 32700-91028 EPA # 2596-126
