(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On October 5, 2010 the owner sprayed the product in the home and then brought the cat back into the house 4-5 hours after. The cat then became symptomatic. On October 6, 2010 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian recommended taking the cat to the veterinarian. During the APSS consultation, the cat died. The APSS veterinarian recommended a necropsy.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On October 7, 2010 an APSS technician contacted the owner to discuss necropsy. The owner stated that the cat was extremely infested with fleas and the attending veterinarian had been treating the cat for fleas and an unknown injection to help the itching, prior to the exposure. The owner stated the attending veterinarian was already pursuing the necropsy and she would update us with the results as soon a they are available. Attempts were made to follow up with the owner regarding necropsy results but case was lost to follow up.
