(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 1July2010 Owner applied Advantage 55 to [name] a unknown aged Chihuahua Miniature Pincher mix Intact male that weighs 22 pounds. On approximately 1Nov2010 this canine started having urinary incontinence. On approximately 15Nov2010 the urinary incontinence had continued with no Veterinary examination and then the canine seemed to have become ataxic. Owner thinks the canine may have had diabetes but that was not diagnosed by a doctor. On approximately 1Dec2010 this canine passed away at home. No doctor's examination was done and no necropsy was performed
Death
Limited animal data and no health history provided. None of reported signs consistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Long onset time of four months for first clinical signs allows exclusion of product involvement. Owner did not submit dog to vet diagnostics. Dog died five months after product administration. This timeframe inconsistent with pharmacokintics of topical product. Other underlying medical problems probably responsible for signs and fatal outcome.
