Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Any relationship between the use of this product and the delayed development of the complications reported in this case is inconceivable and lacks biological plausibility. Secondly, there does not appear to be any means by which this cat could have contact with the pesticide. Even had casual or incidental contact with a surface treated with this pesticide occurred, such serious illness as reported in this cat is unexpected. Furthermore, this stray kitten was never properly evaluated and treated by a veterinarian, nor had it received proper preventive care in the form of vaccines and anti-parasite treatment prior to the occurrence of this incident.
