(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
At an unspecified time in June 2014 the dog passed away. No necropsy was performed.The owner contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about the use of the product on a new pet and not to report the death of the dog. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, minimal information was obtained at the time of the call. Attempts to gain further information will not be made.

18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Death not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Other unrelated etiologies are more probable. The dog was of an advanced age which could have contributed to the event. Very low level of information (weight, condition of patient, medical history and time to onset unknown - necropsy not available). The intent of the phone call to Bayer Animal Health was to ask if the product could be used on a new pet and not to report the death of the patient. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Considering all aspects, product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
