Endrin toxicosis in a cat.
Endrin toxicosis was believed responsible for the sudden death of a cat. Stomach contents contained bird remains, and chemical analysis revealed 233 micrograms of endrin/g. The cat's owner had been using an avicide on the premises just before the cat's death. Endrin is an effective pesticide for control of insects, rodents, and birds. It poses a problem with secondary poisoning in other animals.
