(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-26494640- The reporter, a veterinarian, indicates an animal has presented to her following exposure to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The veterinarian reports the ten week 3.1 pound domestic shorthair cat had the product applied by the owner two days prior to her initial contact. The animal has presented with the primary complaint of dehydration and lethargy. The veterinarian indicated her additional finding included hypothermia (97.7). The pet owner had refused additional diagnostics due to cost. The veterinarian had removed the collar and bathed the animal. The animals temp had dropped to 96.6 and then the animal died. The veterinarian was advised the product is not labeled for us e in either debilitated animals or animals less than 12 weeks of age. The signs seen or out come would not be expected when used according to label instructions. She was advised she approached decontamination correctly. Ideally work up would have been more aggressive to determine appropriate care. The reporter was advised of registrant supported necropsy to assist in determining cause of death. No further information is available.
