18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Report lacks important information (e.g. patient details, health history etc.). The information regarding the death of the cat was casually provided during an inquiry. Long onset time of one year is too long to be related. No other signs reported prior to death. Death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg / kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. Other underlying causes unknown. In the end, a product relation is considered unlikely.
