(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

On 06-Oct-2016, the dog developed vomiting and diarrhea. On 07-Oct-2016, the dog was found deceased. On approximately 26-Oct-2016, a necropsy was performed and revealed mild to moderate gastrits, mild hepatic changes, and unspecified cardiac changes. No more information is expected. Case is closed. Note: The reason for the call to BAH was not to report the death of this patient but to inquire on product use on another dog.


To be determined by Registrant

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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported vomiting and diarrhoea are unspecific signs and may have numerous other causes in dog. No oral product exposure reported. Death is not expected after product application. Time to onset over one day (4 days), therefore allergic/anaphylactic reaction can be ruled out. Necropsy revealed gastritis, hepatic and cardiac disorders which may have contributed for reported signs and death of the animal, as signs are inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Moreover the reason for the call to BAH was not to report the death of this patient but to inquire on product use on another dog. Other causes more probable. Considering all aspects, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
