18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported. Time to onset of about 2 month much too long. Other causes are more probable. e.g. old age. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time (2 years) after. Moreover, the reason for the initial call was to discuss about product use on other dogs and not to report the death of this dog. Finally, even though some information missing (no necropsy, animal data), based on chronology a product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
