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

1-23878423- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates her animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient permethrin. The caller indicates she had applied the product, a topical flea and tick drop labeled only for use on dogs, inadvertently to her five year six pound female domestic longhair cat 5-6 hours preceding the initial contact with the registrant. The animal had developed the signs of vomiting, tremor, nystagmus, mydriasis, and salivation within one hour of application. The pet owner had washed the animal but the signs had persisted. The pet owner was advised the decontamination described was appropriate. She was advised to seek veterinary assistance for further supportive care. On routine follow-up the reporter informed the registrant that the signs seen had resolved by the next morning. The animal was not brought to the veterinarian.
