Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. This product was used outside of label directions. The label states product is for use on cat 12 weeks of age or older. Furthermore, this animal was never properly evaluated and treated by a veterinarian, nor had it received proper preventive care in the form of vaccines and anti-parasite treatment prior to the occurrence of this incident. Even considering the misapplication, severe complications resulting in death are unexpected.
