(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-27170241- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated he animal had been exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The pet owner indicated she applied the product to her nine month male domestic longhair cat the morning of her initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner indicated within fifteen minutes of application the animal developed muscle tremors and convulsions/seizures. The pet was brought to the veterinarian and was treated with intravenous fluids and medications the caller could not name. The pet owner was advised use of the product as labeled would not be expected to elicit the signs seen. On follow up five days later the pet owner indicated the pet was at home and asymptomatic. She did not indicate how long the symptoms persisted, how the animal was treated, or the definitive diagnosis. No further information is available.
