(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-24289126- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates her animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The pet owner indicated she had applied the product to her three year fourteen pound male domestic shorthair cat within one hour of the initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner indicated the pet had licked areas of application and immediately began to vomit. The animal was brought to the Humane Society where it was bathed and then it was returned home where it promptly died. The caller had not sought the assistance of a veterinarian. The pet owner was advised the signs/outcome would not be expected following use of the product per the label. Small ingestions via natural grooming are not expected to yield symptoms. The animal may have had some underlying illness or sensitivity. The caller was made aware of registrant supported necropsy to assist in determining cause of death. No further information is available.
