(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-21234561: A reporter (cat owner) called on 01/05/2010 to report the exposure of her cat to a flea and tick shampoo containing the active ingredients Allethrin and NOBD. According to the reporter, the product was applied to the cat and immediately rinsed off on 12/29/2009. The reporter then read the directions that the product should be left on for a period of time, and the reporter reapplied the product as directed on the label. The reporter saw another flea on 12/30/2009 and used the product again. On 12/31/2009, the cat became lethargic and was taken to the veterinarian for evaluation of progressing signs. The veterinarian determined that the cat had very elevated liver enzymes and hyperglycemia. The cat was hospitalized through 01/01/2010 and received unspecified treatment. The cat died on 01/01/2010 at the veterinary clinic. The reporter was advised that the signs described are not expected, even following more frequent use of the product than recommended on the label. Occasionally an animal may have an unexpected sensitivity to an ingredient in the product, but the signs described are more likely from something unrelated to product use. The company's reimbursement policy was discussed. No further information was obtained. NOTE: The product is not labeled for daily use.
