19. Provide supplemental information here
Based on discussions with the vet, the product had been used in the yard, and they're not sure if the cat had exposure or not. On presentation, the cat has blood coming from the nose, behind the eye, and is icteric. He's been given vitamin K1. If this was diluted and used per label, would not expect systemic signs. The kerosene could cause dermal irritation and possibly breathing changes if groomed, or if ingested undiluted. Other signs of concentrated exposures would be vomiting, tremors, ataxia, and possibly oral ulceration. Would be more suspicious of possibly an anticoagulant, trauma, or severe liver disease.
