(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Landlord called to report tenant saying the cat was having trouble breathing and moving hind legs. Had sprayed product in yard of rental unit 2 days before. Not sure if cat was outside, didn't actually see it. Is outdoors primarily. They suspect the cat could have had a heart condition and may have thrown a clot. No necropsy was done. No further signalment available. The landlord was asked to have the owner call to discuss with the referring DVM. The owner called Oct. 3, 2007. The owner thinks that the exposure to the agent directly led to her cat's death. The DVM explained that if the cat had pre-existing heart disease the exposure and the cat's death could be coincidental. The agent would not be expected to cause ataxia and breathing problems. The owner would not accept this explanation. She is convinced that her landlord's use of the agent was the precipitating event that led to her cat's death. She hung up on the DVM.
