(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-33768042 - 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 to her 3-year-old, female, 13 pound cat (Subform III #1) and to her other three cats about 3 weeks prior to initial contact with the registrant. The same product had been used previously on the reporters cat without incident. About 3 to 5 days after exposure the reporters 3-year-old cat was scratching at the application site and the area was red. The reporter cleaned the site and applied a topical antibiotic which did not seem to help. The reporter then used hydrogen peroxide on the area. At the time of initial contact the reporter indicated that the affected area is about 2 inches in diameter and the cat is still scratching the site. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not expected after product use but her cat may have a sensitivity to the product and use of the product on this cat should be avoided in the future. The reporter was further advised to bath the area with a non-insecticidal shampoo and to seek veterinary care for the cats persistent skin irritation. The reporter could not be reached on follow-up. No further information is available.
