(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-25996404- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates his animal was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The pet owner indicated he applied the product to his thirteen year six pound domestic shorthair cat four days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The pet was reported to have developed lethargy the following day. The animal was bathed to remove the product two days after application when the signs did not resolve. Three days after application the animal was taken to the veterinarian. The animal was reported to have had a white blood cell count at the veterinarian¿s office; the owner stated the vet had indicated a sign of an unidentified nidus of infection. The animal was reportedly being treated by the veterinarian but the pet owner was unable to describe the treatments. The pet owner was advised that the signs seen would not be expected despite the fact that this product is not labeled for animal above ten years of age. The observed elevated white blood cell count is inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient. The pet owner spontaneously called back five days following his initial report. He indicated his animal was improved but did not provide further treatments or diagnostics done by the veterinarian. No further information is available.
