18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Weight loss is not expected after product application and may have numerous other causes. Cancer and further reported death is not expected after product application as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Other etiologies more probable in this geriatric dog, e.g. reported cancer. The intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss product use on another pet and not to report the death of the dog. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Though exact time to onset is unknown, considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
