(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 9 or 10, 2013 the owner noticed that the cat was symptomatic. On September 11, 2013 the owner bathed the cat with water only, which was ineffective. On September 13, 2013 the owner's regular veterinarian observed that the cat was hyperthermic. A short time later that day the owner's regular veterinarian contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that the risk with the spray product was for mild, self-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) upset. The APSS veterinarian also stated that because the identity of the spot on product was unknown the risk was unknown, and that even if a permethrin product had been applied more significant signs would be expected by that point in time. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner's regular veterinarian perform a diagnostic evaluation, provide symptomatic and supportive care, and call back with questions.
