(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in approximately 2017, an Unknown Breed canine, of unknown signalment and condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, had 1 Seresto Large Dog (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the owner. On an unspecified date in approximately May 2017, the dog died. Limited information was obtained at the time of the communication. Further attempts to gather additional information will not be made. The reporting party contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about use of the collar on another pet and not to report the death of this animal. No known necropsy was performed. No more information is expected; this case is closed.
Death
N - Unlikely 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 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. Moreover, the reporting party contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about use of the collar on another pet and not to report the death of this animal. Even though some information is not available (e.g. animal information, chronology, necropsy report), sufficient information exists to rule out product relation completely. Finally, a product relation is consider as unlikely.
