(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
In approximately 2016, a 10 year old, female cat of unknown signalment and condition, with concomitant medical conditions of fleas and anemia, had 1 Seresto Cat Collar (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) placed around the neck by the animal owner. At an unspecified time post application in 2016 the cat was administered an unspecified dose of morphine by the owners sister in an attempt to euthanize the cat. The cat developed respiratory distress and was unable to rise. At an unspecified time in 2017 the cat passed away No more information is expected. This case is closed. Follow up received on 1st May 2017: No known necropsy was performed. No more information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
N - Unlikely Reported respiratory and systemic disorders are not expected with appropriate topical product application. Morphine was administered concomitantly in an attempt to euthanize the animal. Reported respiratory and systemic disorders are likely consequence of morphine administration. 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. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats for an 8 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Concomitant condition of anemia may have contributed to fatal outcome in this advanced aged feline. Finally, even though some information is missing (exact time to onset), considering the known product profile sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement is unlikely.
