(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-27098668- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated her animals had been exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredients phenothrin and methoprene. The reporter stated she had applied the product to her two immature (age unknown) 10 pound beagle dogs one month ago. She reported she bathed the dogs with an unidentified insecticidal shampoo four days prior to her contact with the registrant. After the bath when the animals were dried the product was applied to the animals. The following day the animals developed the signs of anorexia, lethargy, and pale mucus membranes. The pets were brought to the caller's veterinarian who advised her to bring them to a local emergency clinic. The pet owner stated one animal died on her way home the other the same day at home. She did not bring them to the emergency clinic. The animals had been buried and no necropsy had been done. The caller indicated she did not believe the product was related to the animal's death but a family member had made her call. The pet owner advised to avoid using multiple overlapping insecticidal products going forward unless the label advises it is acceptable. The label for this product does not. The signs seen would not be expected to be associated with product use. No further information is available.
