(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in approximately Jul 2016, a 13 year old, female, feline, of an unknown weight, reproductive status, breed, and condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was administered an unknown amount of K9 Advantix II Extra Large Dog (Imidacloprid-Permethrin-Pyriproxyfen) topically by the owner. On an unspecified date in approximately July 2016, 1 day post application, the cat had tremors. The owner bathed the cat with a dish soap.The cat was not examined by a veterinarian. The sign resolved an unknown time later in July 2016. On 15Nov2016 the cat fell from a window sill and died. No necropsy was performed. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
N - Unlikely Off label use (unauthorised species). Cat developed typical signs of intoxication after contact with permethrin. However, even though permethrin is toxic for cats and may have a fatal outcome, generally cats have a good chance to recover if adequate treatment is applied in time, all the more initial sign was not life threatening. Furthermore in this case death was because animal fell off the window sill and thus not product related. Although time to onset consistent for tremors, considering too long time to onset for later reported death (4 months) and serious outcome of the case, overall a product involvement is considered unassessable.
