(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-27617623- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated his animal had been exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter indicated he had applied the product to his eleven year eleven pound female cat one week prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner stated the day of his initial contact he had noted the animal was lethargic and not eating. The pet was taken to the veterinarian and diagnosed with dehydration. The animal was treated with subcutaneous fluids injectable corticosteroids and released. The pet owner was advised neither the active ingredient nor the finished product would be expected to result in the signs seen but to bathe the animal with a non insecticidal shampoo to remove the product if the animal is otherwise debilitated. On follow up five days later the pet owner indicated the animal had died one day after their initial contact. She indicated the animal had seemed to be improving but that evening had been observed to urinate on itself, vocalized, went limp and died while being transported to the veterinarian. The animal had been buried without a necropsy. No further information is available.
