18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Direct topical dermal exposure of the product to the dog. Although unknown application date, duration to onset time considered quite long. Initial signs were unspecific and could have numerous other causes. No reaction to previous exposure. Sudden collapse and death not expected with product use as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Concomitant trachea collapse however could have caused collapse and sudden death. Considering all aspects a relation to the product is unlikely.
