Weight loss and polydipsia are suggestive of other underlying medical conditions in this geriatric cat. Death is not anticipated with appropriate topical product use. Time between product application and death is about 2.5 weeks which is a too long timeframe for a product connection. Without medical exam and necropsy, cause for signs and death unclear.
