19. Provide supplemental information here

Signs inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Would not expect death within 24 hours after topical application of product, particularly without showing any other sign. Cat suffered from respiratory infection which required medical care, but only treated once. Weight of one year old cat of this breed reported to be under 1 (one) kg. This seems to be very low and indicates severe other medical problems.
