3/5/2009 Caller reports that the product was applied by a pest control officer on 1/27/09 and 2/10/09. Caller has cats that live outdoors in the areas where product was applied, but did not witness the cats having any direct exposure to the product. One cat was missing for two days, and then returned with ataxia and tongue ulcerations. The cat was hospitalized for two days on intravenous fluids, and died 10 days ago. A second cat developed oral ulcerations and ataxia 8 days ago. The second cat was taken to the veterinarian and given oral antibiotics. The cat's symptoms worsened, and the cat was taken to the veterinarian again yesterday. The cat was given an appetite stimulant and pain medication. The veterinarian has not given a diagnosis for either cat. The surviving cat has not been admitted to the veterinary hospital, just treated and sent home on both occasions. No necropsy was performed on the cat that had died.
