An unspecified time following the application of product the dog died due to unknown causes. No necropsy was performed. No more information is expected and the case is closed.

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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Death is not expected in dogs after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Very low level of information (medical history and time to onset unknown - necropsy not available) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer two years after the event was to inquire about using the remainder of the product on a new pet, and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies are more probable in this geriatric dog (16 years). It is known, that the dog had tolerated previous product applications well. Considering all aspects, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
