(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-31381141 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient Tetrachlorvinphos and to a non-registrant insecticidal collar with unknown active ingredients. The pet owner reported that 2-3 weeks prior to initial contact with the registrant she had applied the registrant product weekly to her 4 month old, male cat. Her cat also was wearing a non-registrant flea and tick collar for an unknown length of time. The reporter indicated that one night prior to initial contact her kitten was lethargic and its gums were white but she was unable to take the cat the veterinarian due to cost. The cat passed away the following morning. The reporter indicated that she thought the fleas, not the product, was the cause of the cats death. A necropsy was discussed with the pet owner.
