(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16367134: The reporter called on 7/7/08 to report the accidental application of a canine flea and tick product containing the active ingredients Permethrin and Methoprene to her 4 year old female cat the previous evening. According to the reporter, the cat had developed symptoms of twitching and ataxia about 16 hrs after product application. The reporter had tried wiping down the application site with a cloth but the symptoms had persisted. The reporter had planned on taking the cat into a veterinarian later in the day on 7/7. A recommendation was made to bathe the cat in warm water with a non-insecticidal shampoo for about 20 minutes, and to take the cat into the veterinarian sooner than the scheduled appointment if bathing did not alleviate the symptoms. A follow-up call revealed that the cat had spent the day at the veterinary clinic and her symptoms had resolved.
