18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely Death is inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. The cat likely may have died of old age. The intent of the call was to discuss product use on other pets and not to report the death of the cat. Even though some information (e.g. health status, time to onset and necropsy results) is not available. Considering the known product profile and serious outcome of the case, a product involvement is deemed to be unlikely.
