(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-25593508- The caller, a veterinarian, indicates a patient had been exposed to a product with the active ingredient methoprene. The veterinarian indicated a fourteen year old six pound male domestic long hair cat had presented to her with the symptoms of ataxia, was down and unable to rise and loss of deep pain sensation. The veterinarian stated the pet owner had applied the product three times (once monthly) over the course of the past three months. The most recent application was six weeks prior to the animal presenting to the veterinarian. The pet owner had indicated the animal demonstrated ataxia one month ago. The veterinarian reported this was the first she had seen the animal. She asks about relatedness. The veterinarian was advised the signs seen were unexpected following use of the product per the label. Though the product is not labeled for use on animals over ten years of age the signs described are inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient. The veterinarian did not respond to follow up attempts. No further information is available.
