(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On unknown date approximately 2 weeks post application, in 2016 the feline died. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, specific relevant event details were not obtained, nor will such be sought. The reason for the initial phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause serious signs either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Moreover, reason for the initial phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. Time to onset is long. Considering all these aspects, in spite of the unknown status of necropsy, no plausible connection can be made to the product. Hence a product involvement is considered as unlikely.
