The active ingredients are imidacloprid, permethrin, and pyriproxyfen. This product is toxic to cats, [2] and it is not recommended to use it on dogs which share an environment with cats. [1] The product is applied onto the skin; administration of the product into the mouth can cause adverse effects. [3]
Permethrin and imidacloprid, which are used to kill parasites like fleas and ticks on cats and dogs, were banned in Europe in 2002 and 2018 respectively for their danger to aquatic life and ...
Permethrin does not present any notable genotoxicity or immunotoxicity in humans and farm animals, but is classified by the EPA as a likely human carcinogen when ingested, based on reproducible studies in which mice fed permethrin developed liver and lung tumors. [35] A 2018 review failed to link permethrin exposure in humans to cancer. [36]
Dogs are capable of becoming infected with COVID-19. They are also capable of cheering up lonely caretakers during lockdowns. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected animals directly and indirectly. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is zoonotic, which likely to have originated from animals such as bats and pangolins.
Cypermethrin is very toxic to cats which cannot tolerate the therapeutic doses for dogs. [6] This is associated with UGT1A6 deficiency in cats, the enzyme responsible for metabolizing cypermethrin. As a consequence, cypermethrin remains much longer in the cat's organs than in dogs or other mammals and can be fatal in large doses.
Permethrin, in larger doses, is toxic to cats, which can become ill or die after being given flea treatments intended for dogs, or after contact with dogs who have recently been treated with permethrin." These seem to be contradicting statements. Oawaap 21:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Since PED is a viral disease, there is no specific treatment for it. PED's most well-documented infection routes are animal transport, transport of infected piglets, visitors on the farm, and manure transport. Many disinfectants can control the PED virus, but oxidative disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide are generally the most effective.
Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
