N - Unlikely Off label use: (Unauthorized species sub group). Even though more expected after oral uptake, permethrin has the potential to cause mild, transient neurological disorder like ataxia in particularly susceptible animals. Time to onset is long (7 days). Vocalization is unspecific and may be associated to other reported signs. Urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and death are not expected, as it is inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Time to onset is more than 12 hours, therefore an allergic/anaphylactic-type reaction can be ruled out. No necropsy was performed. Other causes should be considered. Overall, a product relation is considered unlikely.
