(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 11-May-2017, a 10 year old, approximately 8 pound, neutered, female, Chihuahua dog, in unknown condition, with concomitant congestive heart failure, administered furosemide, pimobendan, and enalapril since approximately 2016, had 1 Seresto Small Dog (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the animal owner. On 12-May-2017, the dog died. No necropsy was performed.
Death
N - Unlikely Reported serious systemic sign of death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as it is 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 and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Animal is a geriatric patient with a concomitant medical condition of congestive heart failure which could have resulted in the serious sign. Overall, even though time to onset is short and no necropsy was performed considering known safety profile of the product and the serious outcome of death product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
