1-23886859- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates exposure of his animals to multiple insecticidal products. Two containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos, one containing pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide, and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide. The last product the caller could not accurately identify. The caller indicated he applied a topical flea and tick powder (tetrachlorvinphos containing product) and an un identified flea and tick spray to his twelve year fifteen pound male Persian cat (Sub-form III, #1) approximately one week prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The caller reports four days prior to the initial contact with the registrant the animal began vocalizing, became hyperactive, refused food, became lethargic and died two days prior to the initial call placed to the registrant. The caller did not seek veterinary assistance at any point during the reported illness. The caller was advised that the product identified was not expected to yield the described signs when used according to the label. The caller was advised of registrant supported necropsy to determine cause of death. This product is not labeled for cats older than ten years of age. The caller was advised using multiple overlapping products of a single class may increase the likelihood of side effects. The caller also indicated he had applied the product containing pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide, and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide (a flea and tick shampoo) and a tetrachlorvinphos spray to his fifty pound twelve year mixed breed dog within two weeks of his initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated his animal had begun to twitch at some unspecified point after application. The caller had stated he could not tell if the animal was experiencing muscle tremors or pruritis. The caller was advised to wash his animal with a noninsecticidal shampoo and seek veterinary assistance if the signs persist or worsen. The caller was advised using multiple overlapping products of a single class may increase the likelihood of side effects. No further information is available.
