(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date in approximately 2016, a canine with unknown signalment, in unknown condition, with unknown concomitant medical conditions, had 1 Seresto Dog (unspecified) (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck topically by the owner. On an unknown date in approximately 2016, following the application of the collar, the dog died. 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 call was to discuss use of the product not to report the death in this event. No further 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 dogs 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. Dog involved in this case was geriatric. Moreover owner does not believe in product connection as the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss use of the product not to report the death in this event. In case of suspected product involvement case would have been reported in close proximity and not after long time (more than 6 months). Though time to onset is unknown, considering known safety product profile a product relation is unlikely.
