1-23524506- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates exposure of several animals to an insecticide containing the active ingredients pyrethrins, Piperonyl butoxide, and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide. The caller reports she has used the product per the label instructions on a total of 14 cats and one dog. She indicates she applied the product to the animals on 06/30/10. She reports three cats (Subform III, #2), all one year domestic shorthair cats, began to cough within one hour of use. Their symptoms persisted for "a few weeks". She reports the dog (Subform III, #3), a one and one half year female mixed breed dog, developed dermal redness immediately following product use and generalized dermal hives by the next day. She reports she used a topical product provided by a family member (unspecified) on the animal and its signs resolve within "a few weeks". One cat (Subform III, #1), a three year female domestic shorthair, was reported to have died within four days of application. The pet owner reported within 24 hours of application the animal developed the signs of lethargy, urinary, and fecal incontinence. Within another two days the animal developed bright yellow skin and dehydration. The animal was dead by the next morning. The caller, lastly, adds that two additional cats (subform III, #4), four month male domestic shorthair cats, have developed dermatologic signs described as "skin and fur rolling off of their back legs" one week following the application of the product. She does not indicate if these symptoms are persistent. All other animals remained asymptomatic at the point of the call. The caller had not brought the animals to the veterinarian at any point during the described events. No necropsy has been performed. The caller was advised both the symptoms and outcome described would be unexpected following exposure to these active ingredients and the use of this product. Necropsy would be helpful at determining the cause of death of the animal that had passed. She indicated it had been buried. Lastly veterinary care would be recommended to assist in both diagnosis and humane care of the animals. No further information is available.
