(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Owner and animal left the apartment for four hours, June 11 at 2:15 p.m. returned at 6:15 p.m. Cat started to display lethargy and strange vocalization right away. Upon consulting with Vet Emergency (and getting a quite apathetic response), owner took cat to balcony and symptoms seemed to soften. They continued. By midnight, they worsened and cat would fall trying to stand up. Taken to Vet Emergency, nobody was able to identify the poison then as it was a Friday night, very late. Poison Control was contacted, they wouldn't know either. Veterinarian diagnosed "stroke" and prescribed blood tests, IV hydration and sedatives. By 3 am the animal started to have respiratory arrests and went into coma. Veterinarian finally recommended and prescribed euthansia as the only solution. Query respiratory ways. Licking the areas where poison deposited suspected. Total time in environment exposed four hours, two hours in balcony.
