Although time to onset close, reported death is neither expected nor in line with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg / kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported. In this elderly cat underlying medical disorders more likely cause for death. In spite no necropsy performed, overall a product relation is considered unlikely.
