19. Provide supplemental information here

Case unclassifiable. Digestive disorders not expected after topical application even if oral uptake had occurred would not expect signs 2 days after app. Inconsistent with safety profile. No vet consulted inspite of severe signs. Considering all aspects, product connection rather unlikely. Case remains unassessable.
