1-35363495 - The reporter indicated that a cat was exposed to a cat insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient methoprene and to a cat insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredients pyrethrins, n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and piperonyl butoxide. The reporter further indicated that the cat may have also been exposed to a dog spot-on insecticide containing the active ingredients etofenprox, n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and piperonyl butoxide and to a dog insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredient phenothrin. The reporter runs an at home rescue for dogs and cats and three days prior to initial contact with the registrant the reporter bathed 9 cats with the cat shampoo and then applied the cat spot-on product to all nine cats. On that same day she also bathed 12 dogs with the dog insecticidal shampoo and then applied the dog spot-on product to all twelve dogs. The reporter indicated that immediately after product application the dogs and cats interacted and they may have groomed each other. Shortly after product application the reporter stated that all of cats were lethargic, and they had some swelling and pinkness around their eyes. Two days later, in the earlier morning, one of the cats (Subform III #1) had multiple discrete seizures. This cat was taken to the veterinarian and kept for hospitalization but the reporter indicated that the veterinarian called and indicated that the cat continued to have seizures, went into a coma and then died on its own. The reporter was advised that simultaneous use of multiple flea and tick products on one animal is not recommended without first consulting a veterinarian. The reporter was further advised that per package labeling cats should not be exposed to a dog that has recently had a spot-on product applied until after the product is completely dry.
