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

Immediately post application the dog exhibited lethargy and the behavior of not wanting to get up. Two days post application, on an unknown date in 2015, the lethargy and behavioral change resolved. On an unspecified date post application in 2015, the dog died. No 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 more information is expected. Case is closed.


To be determined by Registrant

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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported lethargy and the behavioural disorder are very unspecific signs and may have multiple causes. Later reported death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. The reason for the initial phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies more probable. Moreover dog was of advanced age. Though time to onset for initial signs is short, considering unknown but apparently rather long time to onset for fatal outcome, a product connection is deemed unlikely.
