(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On 15-Apr-2013, four 1 to 1.5 month old, Boer Goat (caprine) kids of mixed genders and unknown weights, in good condition with no concomitant medical conditions, were administered an unknown dose of CyLence Pour-On Insecticide (Cyfluthrin) once topically by the owner. This is an off-label use of this product, it is not labeled for use in goats. Approximately 1 hour after application all kids developed scours and application site alpoecia.One kid died later that day of an unknown cause. On 17Apr2013 the 3 other kids died of an unknown cause. No necropsy was performed. No medical intervention was sought.
Death
Off-label use by species. Cyfluthrin is considered moderately toxic for mammals (oral LD50 850 mg/kg in rats). Diarrhoea is a clinical sign of pyrethroid toxicity. But fatal outcome never expected after topical application of product. No data for goats available. No necropsy initiated. No ingestion of product witnessed. No veterinarian consulted. Clinical course inadequate. Finally a product relation was considered to be not assessable.
