19. Provide supplemental information here
GDS comment: Being overly affectionate may be a behavioural response to the product sensation/smell. Generalized pruritus is not anticipated with topical product administration. If any, skin reactions would be localized at the application site. Duration to onset time too long. It is possible that the animal shows temporary pruritus due to hyperactivity of deceasing fleas. This is known and not a side effect of the product. Signs may be linked with other etiologies. Due to different signs and courses a relation to the product is unclassifiable.
