(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-37794218 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter no longer had the product packaging and could not provide the product barcode number or registration number. The only product information that was available was the partial name of Ultraguard One Spot Flea and Tick Drops for Cats, which the reporter provided from memory. The reporter indicated that she applied the product to her 4-month-old, 3 pound, male domestic shorthair four days prior to initial contact with the registrant. The following morning the cat was having trouble walking, seizing, and had muscle tremors. The cat was brought to the veterinarian that night where the cat was bathed and intravenous fluids and an anticonvulsant were given. Blood work was run to check for toxins. The results of the blood work were not provided. The cat was sent home that same night on a liquid diet. The reporter indicated that the cats tremors resolved the following day but the cat was still a little slow that day. The reporter was advised that the product has a wide margin of safety and the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product. Pyrethroid hair testing was recommended to rule out possible exposure to a pyrethroid insecticide. The reporter could not be reached on follow-up. No further information is available.
