On October 14, the owner called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS staff member stated that this clinical picture would not be expected after using the product appropriately. The clinical signs are unrelated to the product. The time frame from application to the observation of the clinical signs is too wide to be related. Since this cat is an indoor outdoor cat, there are a variety of things that could be going on with him. The APSS staff member recommended the owner take her cat to the veterinarian to find a cause for the lethargy.
