(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-25542430- The caller, a pet owner, indicates her animal was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The pet owner indicates she applied the product ( a topical flea and tick powder labeled for use on dogs) to her three month, three pound female domestic shorthair cat five months prior tot her initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner indicated she left town for four days following the application returned home to find the animal well. The animal died four days later. No signs were observed prior to the animal¿s demise. The animal was not brought to the veterinarian and had since been buried. No necropsy was performed. The pet owner was advised no product labeled for use on dogs should ever be applied to cats. With that being said the formulation of this specific product is fairly similar to the feline product. Application would not be expected to result in sudden death ten days later. No further information is available.
