(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On December 7, 2009 the owner bathed the application area with an oatmeal shampoo. The APSS veterinarian stated cats do not tolerate permethrin, and there are individual variations in sensitivity. She also stated signs range from mild dermal hypersensitivity to seizures, and signs can develop from almost immediately up to 72 hours post-exposure. The APSS technician relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to monitor the cat at home for central nervous system (CNS) signs, bathe the cat with liquid dish washing detergent, provide thermoregulation by keeping the cat warm, and call back with questions. In the evening of December 7, the owner call the APSS to update the case. The owner stated the cat had been having mydriasis, which then would return to normal, all day, and the cat's rear paws were shaking. The owner also stated the cat's rubbing at the application site, hissing, and agitation had all resolved. The APSS veterinarian recommended bathing the cat with LDWD, taking him to the veterinarian if any CNS signs developed, having the veterinarian call for information, monitoring the cat closely for any increased twitching, and calling back with questions.
Moderate
On December 9, 2009 the owner returned the follow up call from the APSS technician to update the case. She stated the cat slowly improved after the LDWD bath, and on the morning of December 9, the cat had fully recovered. This product was not used according to label directions: Do not use on cats.
