(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in May 2017, a 17 year old, female, Blue Heeler canine, of unknown weight and condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was administered 1 tube of K9 Advantix II Extra Large Dog (Imidacloprid-Permethrin-Pyriproxyfen) topically by the owner. On an unspecified date post product application, in 2017, the dog died. It is unknown if a necropsy was preformed. No further information is expected. This case is closed. The initial communication with Bayer Animal Health was not to report the death of the dog but to inquiry about product use on other pets.
Death
N - Unlikely Death not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Low level of information (time to onset unknown - necropsy not available) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to ask if the remaining product could be used on a new pet, and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies more probable. This dog was indeed 17-years old. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
