(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-32942466 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter indicated that she applied the product for the first time to her 11-year-old, male, domestic longhair 9 days prior to initial contact with the registrant because her cat had been scratching a lot but no fleas were seen on her cat. On the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated that she had just found some scabs and noted that the skin was bleeding at the application site. The reporter also indicated that her cat was very itchy and had some hair loss. The reporter was advised that the product has little to no toxicity in mammals but some animals may be sensitive to the product. Bathing with a non-insecticidal shampoo was recommended and the reporter was advised to seek veterinary care for any persistent or worsening symptoms. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that the cats ears started to tremor three days after initial contact (12 days after product application). The reporter sought veterinary care for the tremoring ears and the veterinary treated the cat with a shot of penicillin, oral antibiotics and a steroid. The cat had not yet been bathed.
