Caller stating that he had used the products 3 weeks ago all over the foundation of his house as per label directions. The product is not working. Last Thursday July 10, 2008 caller noticed that his cats left hind leg seemed paralyzed. He fell down a flight of stairs due to his problem. Caller wants to know if it could be caused by the products. He is doing better at this time but still favoring his left leg. He thinks that the cat could be ingesting the exposed grass. Caller does not have a job right know so he would like to know if there is any way he could get help with the vet bill if he has to take the cat in. Caller was advised to call vet. If symptoms persist or worsen he will need to take the cat in. Products can cause nervous system symptoms in acute effects of overexposure.
