(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16552246: This reporter called on 08/21/2008 to report the exposure of a 1 year-old cat to a flea egg and larvae topical product containing the active ingredient Methoprene one week prior. Within three days of product application, the cat developed dermal irritation, dry skin and hair loss at the application site. The caller was advised that the signs described are not expected with routine product use and that it is possible the cat has an unrecognized sensitivity to an ingredient in the product. A recommendation was made to discontinue product use if it is suspected that the signs are product-related and to bathe the cat in a non-medicated shampoo to remove any product residue. A recommendation was made to use topical vitamin E to soothe the irritated skin and relieve dryness. It was advised that the cat should be evaluated by a DVM if the symptoms persist or worsen. Attempts at follow up were unsuccessful and no further information was obtained.
