(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-28466467- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates his animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient methoprene. The pet owner indicated he had applied the product to his fifteen month female eight pound domestic shorthair cat three days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The following day an unidentified flea fogger was used in the home. The cat re-entered the application area later the same day. The pet owner described that same day they had used a flea comb on the animal to remove live fleas and placed the flea comb in a bowl of water to drown the fleas. The animal was found dead the next morning. The owner indicated he thought the animal had been drinking from the bowl used to drown the fleas. The animal had been buried without a necropsy. The pet owner was advised no more than mild GI upset would be expected from the ingestion described. The animal likely had some unrecognized health concern that had led to its death. No further information is available.
