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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Respiratory distress and death not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Radiographic founding of water behind lungs indicates more chronic or subacute cardiac problem. Thus relation to Advantix rather unlikely, however, based on short time to onset and lack of further diagnostics, case remains unassessable.
