(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16300021: The reporter called on 6/19/08 to report his cat had developed seizures after the application of a topical flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Methoprene. According to the reporter, he had applied the product on 6/18 and within 60 minutes the cat had developed seizures. By the time of the call, the cat had had 6 seizures during the night and had bitten off 25% of her tongue. The reporter stated that he had spoken to several (2) veterinarians over the phone who had recommended euthanasia. It was discussed that seizures would not be an expected reaction to the product and a recommendation was made that the cat should be evaluated by a veterinarian. The company sponsored hair testing and necropsy programs were discussed. A follow-up call on 6/20 revealed the cat had had 5-6 additional seizures since the reporter¿s initial phone call. He had euthanized her the morning of 6/20. The company sponsored necropsy program was again discussed, but the reporter declined as he had already buried her. Note: the reporter stated he had used the same product the previous 2 months with no problems.
