Veterinarian called to report symptoms of 4 week old cat after owner inappropriately applied product to it's nursing mother. Product was applied April 25, 2012 however kitten did not receive veterinarian care until 2 weeks later. Veterinarian received advice including that this product is not to be used on nursing or pregnant cats as kittens can lick some of the product residue off the mother cat from nursing and to bathe mother cat and kitten in dish soap and warm water. Veterinarian was asked for proper product ID info as product name and format are still unknown, making it difficult to give the best treatment advice.
