(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
Between September 27, 2015 and September 29, 2015 the cat developed anorexia. On September 29, 2015 the cat developed somnolence, vocalization, and an isolated event of urinary incontinence. On September 30, 2015 the cat died, so the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated might see mild skin signs from use of the product, but nothing beyond that or mild paresthesia like signs. The APSS veterinarian recommended a necropsy (if body still available as the cat's body has been taken to the local humane society for cremation).

The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On September 30, 2015 the owner called the APSS to discuss how to submit the cat's body for necropsy. The APSS technician stated that the necropsy instructions would need to be sent directly to a veterinary clinic or the humane society. The APSS technician spoke with the humane society regarding submission and then spoke with the owner as there were two different veterinary clinics that the humane society has used. The APSS technician recommended the owner contact a veterinary clinic in her area and contact them in regard to submitting the cat's body for necropsy. The owner then found a veterinary clinic willing to submit the cat's body for necropsy, but the clinic will charge her for submission. On October 1, 2015 the owner called the APSS to discuss payment for the clinic for necropsy submission. An APSS technician paid the submission fee to the clinic and the body will be sent for necropsy. On October 15, 2015 the final necropsy results were received. The morphologic diagnosis showed a body wide flea infestation, body wide anemia (presumptive), haired skin focal crust and microscopic diagnosis showed the liver had diffuse centrilobular hepatocellular vacuolar degeneration, the bone marrow had erythroid hyperplasia with left shift, the lungs showed suppurative bronchitis with bronchial gland hyperplasia and histiocytic interstitial pneumonia. The histopathologic findings in the liver and bone marrow support the diagnosis of anemia that was suspected on gross examination. The pneumonia may have contributed to the morbidity and decline of this animal, but is not of sufficient severity to result in death. No further tests are pending. On October 16, 2015 the APSS veterinarian attempted to call the owner to convey results of the necropsy (death attributed to severe anemia, most likely due to heavy flea infestation; in addition there was evidence of marked infection in respiratory tract), but was unable to leave a message. Later that evening, the owner called the APSS to discuss the necropsy results. The APSS veterinarian discussed the necropsy results and discussed that severe flea anemia likely contributed to the cat's death, along with the pneumonia. The APSS veterinarian also discussed the other animals in the home and that they were treated with the spot on and doing well. The APSS veterinarian advised monitoring their mucous membrane (mm) color and taking to the veterinarian if pale. The APSS veterinarian also discussed consistent vacuuming.
