1-16311757: The reporter called on 6/22/08 to report the death of her 1 year old female cat after the application of a topical flea and tick product containing the active ingredients Etofenprox and Methoprene. According to the reporter, the product had been applied on 6/20/08. The cat had remained indoors all that day but then had been let outside the morning of 6/21. By the time the cat had come home later that same day, she had become very lethargic. Family members found the cat outside the following day (6/22) ¿ it had passed away. The safety profile of the product was discussed in that sudden death would not be an expected reaction to the product. The company sponsored necropsy program was discussed but the cat had already been buried.
