(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-23052491- The reporter, a veterinary technician, calls to report an animal has been exposed to a pesticide containing the active ingredient Permethrin. The caller indicates the animal¿s owner had applied the topical flea and tick drops to her 2 year 8 pound female domestic long hair cat the day prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner realized shortly after application of the product that it was not labeled for use in cats. She reported as soon as she had realized her mistake she promptly washed the animal with a non insecticidal shampoo. The caller reports a day later the animal was demonstrating signs of muscle tremors, weakness, rapid breathing and stridorous breathing. The caller was informed that the symptoms were consistent with inappropriate use of canine products with this active ingredient on feline patients. The caller was advised decontamination as done was appropriate and may be repeated. The caller was, further, advised of symptomatic and supportive care that could be administered. On routine call back it was revealed the animal was bathed, given intravenous fluids, and released to its owner. The duration of symptoms was not clarified. No further information is known.
