(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-33756713 - The reporter, a friend of a pet owner, indicated that her friends cat was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter indicated that her friend applied the product to her 2-year-old, female cat one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. At the time of initial contact the reporter indicated that a dog flea and tick product was also applied to a dog in the house on the same day but this was later denied by the pet owners veterinarian. The day after product application the reporter indicated that the cat was found shaking, breathing with increased effort and open mouthed breathing. The cat was taken to the veterinarian where it was hospitalized for 3 days treated for a fever, treated with intravenous fluids and some unknown shot that the reporter indicated was an antidote. The reporter was advised that the product has little to no toxicity in mammals but cats that may have been exposed to a dog product could develop symptoms as described. Bathing with a non-insecticidal shampoo was recommended and hair testing to determine if the cat may have been exposed to a pyrethroid insecticide from a dog product was offered. On follow-up call, seven days later, the treating veterinarian indicated that the toxicology report on the hair testing was positive for methoprene, permethrin and pentobarbital. The treating veterinarian indicated that initially she treated the cat with symptomatic therapy but symptoms continued so she gave lipid therapy and the cat recovered shortly after lipid therapy treatment.
