1-18431403: A reporter (cat owner) called on 05/12/2009 to report the accidental exposure of a cat to a canine flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Phenothrin. According to the reporter, the product had been mistakenly applied to the cat on 05/11/2009. At an unknown time following product application, the cat became hyper, started vocalizing, and had irritation at the application site. The reporter realized the mistake the morning of the report and bathed the cat 3 times in dish soap. At the time of the report, the cat was eating, drinking, urinating, and defecating normally. The cat was taken to the veterinarian, but the veterinarian was unfamiliar with the product. The reporter was advised that the product is not intended for use on cats. Severe signs can begin within 30 minutes of product application but may be delayed for up to 12 hours. Signs of toxicity were discussed. The reporter was advised that decontamination is a good first step. If the cat develops any more signs, it should be evaluated by a veterinarian. The reporter was advised that the veterinarian can call for treatment recommendations if needed. The cat should be monitored closely for 48-72 hours as signs may re-develop in under-treated cats. On follow up, the reporter stated that the cat was bathed several times, examined by a veterinarian (no treatment was needed), and was doing well at the time of the follow up report. NOTE: This product is not labelled for use on cats.
