(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-32170824 - The reporter, a veterinary technician, indicated that a cat was exposed to a dog spot-on insecticide containing the active ingredients permethrin and methoprene. The veterinary technician reported that the owner applied the dog spot-on product for dogs greater than 14kgs to his 1-year-old, 6.4 pound, female cat one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. Shortly after product application the owner reported that the cat was trembling and seizing. The owners bathed the cat with water that night and the following day brought the cat into the veterinary clinic. The veterinarian was advised that per package labeling the dog product should not be applied to cats. Bathing with a non-insecticidal shampoo was recommended and symptomatic and supportive care for any ongoing neurologic symptoms was recommended. On follow-up call, three days later, a staff member at the clinic indicated that the cat stayed the day and was bathed, treated with intravenous fluids and possibly oral methocarbamol and then was transferred to the e-clinic that night. Per the staff member they had spoken with the pet owner earlier in the day and the cat was doing fine. No further information is available.
