On July 2, 2009, the owner found the kitten with the collar stuck in his mouth. The owner removed the collar from the kitten. The APSS veterinarian stated that a systemic insecticide toxicosis would not be expected with this exposure. The APSS veterinarian said it was possible that the gastrointestinal (GI) upset could possibly be due to the stress of the episode or the recent diet change.
