(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Product was applied in basement around a pile of wood. Owner started bringing up the wood from the basement around 2/1. Owner states there was residue from the ant dust that fell on the floor. She suspects that the cat would have walked through it and possibly licked his paws. 10 days ago the cat became lethargic and started sneezing. 2 days ago cat stopped eating. Owner took the cat to the RDVM yesterday; green ocular discharge was noted at the vet clinic in addition to an enlarged liver. DVM started the cat on antibiotics and took chest films. Radiographs are clear per owner, but then she stated that the bronchi are inflamed. The owner was advised if a small amount had been ingested, very low risk for gi upset. If a good amount had been inhaled, could see moderate to marked changes in lungs, with inflammation. AT this time, it does not sound like the product is related, but we would like to speak with the RDVM and obtain additional information. Have DVM call back to discuss the case.
