(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-27669809- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated his animal had been exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The caller reported he applied the product to fifteen mixed breed cats ranging in age from three weeks to nine years one day prior to his initial contact with the registrant. He reports within twelve hours all animals developed signs. Four of the animals (Subform III, #1) developed lethargy and when he bathed them he noted their skin bleeding or the bathing water turning red. Nine animals (Subform III, #2) developed the same signs but also refused to eat. Lastly two (Subform III, #3) animals developed all the same signs as the latter group but also died the same day. The pet owner was advised the signs seen were inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient and the finished product. He was advised to seek veterinary care. On follow up three days later the pet owner indicated all but two animals had fully resolved, but he did not clarify which group these cats were in. He had not sought a veterinary care. The pet owner was advised the sign of water turning red or skin bleeding described prior was likely due to large amounts of flea dirt or fecal material on the animals coat. This material is essentially dried blood as that is the primary meal of fleas seen on domestic animals. He was advised flea infestation this heavy can result in life threatening anemia and he should seek veterinary care despite the animals improvement. No further follow u was obtained. This product is not labeled for animal less than twelve weeks of age. No further information is available.
