Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Behavioural disorder described is very unspecific, however may be a consequence of the uncomfortable feeling caused by the applied product. Would not expect erythema to be generalized but rather linked to the application site. However, considering short time to onset, a dermal sensitivity to the product cannot be excluded. Time to onset for the first course of signs is short. Would not expect death after product application as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Dog was diagnosed with lymphoma and lung cancer and died most likely due to this medical condition. Time to onset for the second course of signs is very long (3 months). The owner did not call to report an adverse event, but to discuss a current flea issue. Unknown if necropsy was performed. Considering all factors, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
