Death
Assessment: This product has a wide margin of safety and the severe symptoms, including death, are not expected following use. Other causes for the catas death should be considered, including underlying disease. Veterinary examination regarding the underlying health concerns, further information on concomitant products, and diagnostics including necropsy may have been able to provide further information about the cause of the catas death, but these were not pursued. The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and cannot form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews.
