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

On an unknown date in Sept-2016, the canine had died. It is unknown if the canine was examined by a veterinarian. No known 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 call was to discuss the of the product on her new canine and not to report the death in this event. No further information expected. This 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

Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Low level of information (age, medical history and time to onset unknown - necropsy not available) and time for reporting is too long (7 months) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss the use of product on new dog and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies more probable. Even though time to onset unknown, considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
