(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-37275782 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate. The product was applied to the reporters lawn as a spot treatment one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. Although no specific exposure to the product was noted the reporter indicated that her 18-month-old, 10 pound, indoor and outdoor male cat could have entered the application site within the hour that it was applied. One hour after the product was applied the cat was noted to have a fever and abdominal pain. The following morning the cat was brought to the veterinarian and at the time of the initial call the cat was still at the veterinary clinic where it was being treated for dehydration. The reporter did not indicate if any diagnostic tests had been run. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product. No further information is available.
