(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-18628775: A reporter (cat owner) called on 05/28/2009 to report the exposure of a cat to a flea egg and larvae product containing the active ingredient Methoprene. According to the reporter, the product was applied to the cat on 05/27/2009. Soon after product application, the cat became agitated and fearful, was hiding, and was not eating or drinking. He was told by the company's customer service representative to bathe the cat and wanted to know what else he should do. As the reporter was reporting the incident, the cat began to eat. The reporter was advised of the active ingredient and its action to inhibit maturation of immature fleas. The reporter was also advised that the active ingredient has little to no mammalian toxicity and reactions to the product are not expected. A recommendation was made to bathe the cat in a non-insecticidal shampoo and consult a veterinarian should the signs persist or worsen. An attempt at follow up was unsuccessful. No further information was obtained.
