(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date in 2017, post application, the canine was hit by a car and died. The canine was examined by a veterinarian and the death was confirmed. 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. This case is closed. No additional information expected.
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. Outcome was the consequence of alternative causes. In this case the animal was hit by a car. Moreover owner does not believe in product connection either as the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. Finally, even though some information (e.g. medical history, heath condition and necropsy results) are missing, considering known product profile and unexpected fatal outcome, a product involvement is deemed to be unlikely.
