Repeated exposure to trichlorphone caused death in a young cat
Downloads
A 4-month-old Persian cat was brought to the Zoom Veterinary Clinic because it had seizures after using insecticide containing trichlorfon. After a physical examination, it was found that the cat had seizures, hypersalivation, and cyanosis of the gums and ears. Hematology and blood biochemistry tests were performed. The hematology results showed an increase in white blood cells, while the blood biochemistry results showed an increase in blood glucose, SGPT, calcium, and amylase and a decrease in creatinine. The first treatment was given atropine sulfate, ornipural, and Ringer lactate infusion. After that, the cat's condition improved, but the cat had seizures again. The cat was hospitalized at the Zoom Clinic and received therapy in the form of diazepam, cefotaxime, Ringer lactate infusion, furosemide, ornipural, and Novifit®. On the 2nd day of hospitalization, the cat died.
