(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
The owner applied an unknown size of the K9 Advantix to the cat on 6/20/11. On 6/21/11 the cat was found tremoring so the cat was brought to the veterinary clinic. The cat was tremoring and was hyperthermic on examination. The cat was given subcutaneous fluids, bathed with dish soap and had bloodwork done. The bloodwork was within normal limits, however the ALKP =6 (10- 16 normal range). The cat was released later that day because the cat was asymptomatic. On 6/22/11 the owner reported that the cat was still doing well, however she did have a decreased appetiteOn 6/23/11 the cat started having tremors again. On 6/24/11 the cat was found having tremors, very lethargic and non responsive. The cat was taken to the veterinary clinic where it was found to be hypothermic as well (96 deg F). The cat was put on intravenous fluids and intravenous methocarbamol. The cat ended up passing away on its own the evening of 6/24/11. A necropsy was not performed
Death
Tremoring possibly typical mild signs of intoxication after direct contact with permethrin. Hperthermia secondary to this. But subsequent chronological sequence and outcome very unusual. Cat released from clinic asymptomatic after washing and infusion. Cat showed severe signs two days later and died on following day inspite of treatment. No necropsy initiated. Either washing did not eliminate all product or other intercurrent health issue to be considered, as chronology so unusual
