(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-36649971 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that his cat was exposed to an insecticidal collar containing the active ingredients tetrachlorvinphos and methoprene. The reporter placed the collar on his 9-year-old, 7 pound, female Siamese cat eleven days prior to initial contact with the registrant. Three hours after the collar was applied the cat was breathing heavy, panting, running around and hiding. The following morning the reporter removed the collar and that afternoon he bathed his cat. Two days after the collar had been applied the reporter brought his cat to the veterinarian. The veterinarian indicated that the cat was having an allergic reaction and she was given an unknown injectable medication to calm her down. Blood work was drawn but the reporter did not know the results of the blood work. When the reporter came home from the veterinary clinic he noticed that his cat was lethargic, urinating on herself and crying. Four days after the collar had been applied the cat was still weak. Eight days after the collar had been applied the cat seemed to be getting better but that night she worsened and the following day she was staggering around, not doing well and she died that day. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not expected and a necropsy could help determine the cause of death but the cat had already been buried. No further information is available.
