1-38141816 - The reporter, the roommate of a pet owner, indicated that her roommates two cats were exposed to an insecticidal home spray containing the active ingredients phenothrin, piperonyl butoxide and pyriproxyfen. The reporter stated that the product was applied in one room in their apartment one week prior to initial contact with the registrant to treat an active flea infestation. The following day the roommates 1-year-old, male domestic longhair cat (Subform III #1) was found dead in the room. The reporter indicates that her roommates 6-year-old, male domestic shorthair cat (Subform III #2) has been paralyzed for the last few days and at the time of the initial call appears as though he is dying. During the phone call the reporter indicated that the cat had died. The reporters cat was also not doing well; its gums were white, it was not eating and it was lethargic. The reporter was advised that the product contains a very low concentration of active ingredients and the described symptoms are not consistent with use of the product. The reporter was further advised that the described symptoms may be secondary to flea bite anemia. A necropsy was recommended to help determine an underlying cause. Veterinary care was recommended for the reporters cat. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that she did not seek veterinary care for her cat due to limited finances but the cat seems to be getting better. No further information is available.
