Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Dermal reactions at the application site are possible with any topically applied product, however would not expect lesion development directly related to product. But it is likely that the dog scratched at the site and caused skin lesions by selftrauma. Considering sign location and consistent time to onset, a product connection is deemed to be possible. Death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Long onset time of approx. 7 years allows product exclusion. Other etiologies are more probable, e.g. underlying cardiac disorders. Considering long onset time, product involvement on dog's death was considered unlikely and case was assessed with "N".
