1-31839707 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredients permethrin and her cat was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The pet owner reported that the product was applied to her 18-month-old, 55 pound mixed breed dog (Subform III #1) two days prior to initial contact with the registrant and a different insecticidal spray product was applied to her 1-year-old, female, mixed breed cat (Subform III #2) on the same day. Four to five hours after product application the dog repeatedly scratched at the application site and the area became swollen and red. The dog then became lethargic and stopped eating. The dog was bathed with hand soap and one day prior to initial contact the dog was brought to an emergency veterinarian where an exam was performed but no additional treatment was provided. At the time of initial contact the reported indicated that the dog was still very lethargic and she would be bringing him to her regular veterinarian later in the day. The reporter was advised that her dog may be sensitive to the product and additional bathing was recommended. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that her dog was doing a little better; he was still sleeping a lot and scratching a little but the skin looked much better. The reporter then indicated that in the past three days her cat had lost some fur at the application site. The reporter was advised that the active ingredient in the cat product is an insect growth regulator with a wide margin of safety for mammals; some mammals may be sensitive to the product resulting in dermal irritation and fur loss.
