(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On May 18, 2013 the owner noticed that the cat was mildly lethargic. On May 19, 2013 the owner noticed that the cat's lethargy had worsened and that the cat was hiding. Later that morning the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that mild respiratory signs could be seen if the scent of the product bothered her and that dermal contact or ingestion of the wet agent could cause paw shaking, facial twitching, retching, and drooling. The APSS veterinarian said that the cat's signs suggested some other cause, such as flea anemia or lily ingestion. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner take the cat to the veterinarian, have the veterinarian call for information, and call back with questions.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation and that flea anemia was considered to have a medium likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On May 22, 2013 an APSS assistant called the owner to update the case. The owner stated that shortly after her consultation with the APSS on May 19, 2013 she bathed the cat; she did not take the cat to the veterinarian. The owner said that on the afternoon of May 19, 2013 the cat died. A necropsy was not available. Owner allowed cat to enter treated area before labelled airing out interval completed.
