(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-38254795 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient methoprene. At the time of the initial call the reporter no longer had product packaging and could not provide the full name of the product, the bar code number or registration number for the product but the reporter was certain that it was a cat spot-on product that was used. The reporters husband applied the spot-on product to their 3 year old, 7 pound, male cat two months prior to initial contact with the registrant. That same night the reporter heard a loud noise and found her cat shaking, seizing and drooling. The cat was brought to the emergency veterinary clinic where it was bathed, given intravenous fluids, valium and methocarbamol. The cat stayed for a few days (caller did not specify how long the cat was hospitalized) and then released. The reporter states that the cat still seems a little more noise sensitive which the reporter interprets as damaged nerves. The reporter was advised that the cat spot-on products contain an insect growth regulator which has little to no toxicity in mammals and the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product. The reporter was further advised that the described symptoms may be consistent with exposure to a pyrethroid insecticide but since the exposure occurred two months ago testing for pyrethroid exposure was no longer an option. No further information is available.
