(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
5/26/2016 The following report dated 1/7/2016 was forwarded for documentation. The report states that the cat owner had been keeping a close eye on the cat for a couple of days prior to using the product as the cat had been lethargic. While caller was checking the cat over, caller noticed a significant amount of flea dirt on the cat. Caller mixed the product and started the process of dipping the cat. The cat did struggle a bit as she was not keen on getting wet. Within a couple of minutes, the cat went limp. Caller initially thought the cat got tired of resisting. Upon further investigation, caller found that the cat's eyes were dilated and not responding to light stimulus, and her gums were white. Within 10 minutes of starting the dip the cat had died.
