Editing Pyrethroid (section)

===Other organisms===
Pyrethroids are very toxic to [[cat]]s, but not to [[dog]]s. Poisoning in cats can result in seizures, fever, [[ataxia]] and even death. Poisoning can occur if pyrethroid containing [[flea treatment]] products, which are intended for dogs, are used on cats. The livers of cats detoxify pyrethroids via [[glucuronidation]] more poorly than dogs, which is the cause of this difference.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Boland|first1=L|last2=Angles|first2=J|date=2010|title=Feline permethrin toxicity: retrospective study of 42 cases|journal=[[Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery]]|volume=12|issue=2|pages=61–71|doi=10.1016/j.jfms.2009.09.018|issn=1532-2750|pmid=19897392|s2cid=206051191|pmc=10911430}}</ref> Aside from cats, pyrethroids are typically not toxic to [[mammal]]s or [[bird]]s.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Veterinary toxicology: basic and clinical principles|vauthors=Gupta RC|publisher=Elsevier|year=2007|isbn=978-0-08-048160-9|edition=1st|pages=676–677|doi=10.1016/B978-012370467-2/50153-X|display-authors=etal}}</ref> They are often toxic to [[fish]], [[reptile]]s and [[amphibian]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal|display-authors=etal|vauthors=Ortiz-Santaliestra ME|date=2018|title=Validity of fish, birds and mammals as surrogates for amphibians and reptiles in pesticide toxicity assessment|journal=[[Ecotoxicology (journal)|Ecotoxicology]]|volume=27|issue=7|pages=819–833|doi=10.1007/s10646-018-1911-y|pmid=29492806|bibcode=2018Ecotx..27..819O |s2cid=3604324}}</ref>
