18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Death reported 1 1/2 year after last product exposure. Nevertheless increased renal enzymes and death are inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. Time to onset too long. Chronology inconsistent. The cause of death of this geriatric dog was probably due to underlying cause of renal disorder according to case description. The product has no nephrotoxic potential. Product was used on animal before without causing any signs. Finally, a product relation can be completely excluded.
