On approximately 01 October 2012, a 2 month old, 40 pound, male, Pit Bull canine, in good condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was administered 1 tube of K9 Advantix II Large Dog (Imidacloprid-Permethrin-Pyriproxyfen) once topically by the owner. On approximately 01 November 2012 the dog ate metaldehyde (snail bait) and died suddenly. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed.
To be determined by Registrant
18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Death not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Other etiologies more probable, and ingestion of snail bate has been reported just before the event. Necropsy not available. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. The dog died 1 month after administration of Advantix and allergic/anaphylactic reaction unlikely. Considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
