(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On April 16, 2016 the cat developed anorexia, adipsia, and lethargy, so the owner removed the collar. On April 17, 2016 the cat began vomiting. On April 18, 2016 the owner took the cat to the veterinarian where the cat was hospitalized and started on fluid therapy (given for a couple days), manage vomiting (given an injection) and stimulate appetite (an injection given) and had complete blood count (CBC) which noted the cat had developed leukopenia, toxic neutrophils, icterus, hyperbilirubinemia, and elevated amylase. On April 19, 2016 the cat was given another injection to stop vomiting as well as an antacid and was force fed by a syringe. On April 20, 2016 the owner called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to determine if the flea collar was the cause of the cat's signs and to ask about compensation for the product. The APSS veterinarian stated propoxur is a carbamate insecticide that is often used in flea collars for dogs and cats, when used per label it has a wide margin of safety. The APSS veterinarian also stated if the collars are chewed or ingested, signs of hypersalivation, vomiting, possibly diarrhea, and ataxia may occur but are usually transient. The APSS veterinarian finally stated some animals may have behavioral changes if they are not used to wearing collars, but severe signs are not expected. The APSS veterinarian recommended continuing treatment, having the veterinarian call for information, and a referral to the manufacturer (about reimbursement).

The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation.
