(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Between November 26, 2016 and December 1, 2016 the cat died. On December 5, 2016 the attending veterinarian called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated concern with this exposure is for taste reactions (hypersalivation, vomiting); dermal hypersensitivity reactions (pruritus, behavior changes, restlessness) and lethargy. The APSS veterinarian also stated the time frame and clinical signs do not fit with exposure to this product. The APSS veterinarian recommended a necropsy, but it was not possible (as the cat had passed away at home about a week prior to them reporting it; they took the cat home).
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation. A follow up was not performed, because additional information was not expected.
