Oliver Permethrin Poisoning Clip 2

In April of 2009, I applied Sergeants Flea & Tick Powder to my healthy 5 year old Tabby, Oliver. That powder contains permethrin (pymethrin) which is TOXIC to cats. These videos show the effects of that product in the form of "tremors" which appeared less than 48 hours after the application.

Since applying that product, Oliver has been diagnosed with CRF- Chronic Renal Failure... one of the side effects of permethrin.

Please help Oliver to hold the company responsible for killing him accountable. Requesting him as a friend on facebook will add your name as a petition against Hartz/Sergeants and all other companies that claim to have our pets best interest at heart-- from harming/killing any more innocent animals.

@Dibble649 hahaha, brilliant

If only I had seen this last week. My 3 year old tabby cat died yesterday after being in contact with my dog who had been bathed in an over the counter shampoo containing Pyrethrum. There was no warning on the label and my cat had not been treated. It took us too long to make the connection - how toxic are these products if they cause this reaction by only sharing an environment? These products MUST CARRY CLEAR WARNINGS ON THE LABELS or better still withdrawn.

@tattoome5150 WELL MAYBE THEY SHOULDNT SELL POISONOUS PRODUCTS WOW

[bwickgirl4]

I just bought mortein flea bombs and was about to douse the house as I found fleas on my dog. I have two dogs and a cat. There is no mention at all about permethrin & it's toxicity to cats ANYWHERE on the box or can!! It says to remove pets from the house for two hours. How can this company sell this product!!! It definitely indicates that it is safe to use in a household with pets. I had an inkling that I should check the net and make sure it won't hurt my dogs or cat, after seeing Oliver ther

The only person responsible is you. Your the one who used an product that you did not research beforehand. Everyone who owns a pet should know what is toxic to that animal. Im sorry for your loss but blaming someone other than yourself will not heal your pain.

I am so sorry! I DESPISE with every fiber of my being these business people who profit off of others without regard for their suffering.

I am so sorry for the loss of Oliver! He is jus beautiful. These companies need to take action. Bet they dont use it on their pets!

It is all poisonous!!! If you would not put it on the back of your own neck....................DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR PET!!! Every single OTC and even the veterinary available products are toxic. Parasites are a pain in the arse, but there are natural ways to deal with them, along with not letting your pet out and only treating when there is an outbreak.

@CoolConejo No. It has something else, but it still isn't "safe". More and more incidences with Frontline are reported. It had the highest number of incidences to the EPA reporting system of any product. If you don't want to try alternatives like diatomaceous earth, vacuuming, washing bedding & flea combing and need a chemical intervention, Capstar seems to have the least amount of issues. It's out of the body in about 3 days and is to break the cycle while using other stuff.
