(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in approximately 2017, a feline with an unknown signalment, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, had one Seresto Cat (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the owner. On an unknown date in approximately 2017, the feline died. It is unknown if a necropsy was conducted. This case is closed. No additional information expected. Note: The intent of the call was to discuss product use on other pets and not to report the death of the cat.
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 intent of the call was to discuss product use on other pets and not to report the death of the cat. Though some information is not available (necropsy details and time to onset), considering the known product safety profile, a product relation is considered unlikely.
