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

1-52793960 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicates an exposure to a pesticide containing the active ingredients tetramethrin and D-phenothrin. One day before the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated he sprayed a tree with the product and later his 12-year-old, male, domestic shorthair cat of unknown weight might have slept under the tree. On the day of initial contact, the cat developed vomiting, bloody diarrhea, ataxia, and anorexia. The reporter was advised to get immediate veterinary evaluation of the cat as these symptoms are not consistent with the described exposure. On follow-up call one day later, the reporter indicated he had brought the cat to a veterinarian where the cat was treated, but he still was not eating much. The reporter was advised to follow-up with his veterinarian. No additional information is available.
