Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

In individual cases hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. urticaria) to the product are possible in animals that are particular sensitive. Although sign is rather unspecific, lethargy may exceptionally occur in particular sensitive animals. Anorexia and adipsia likely only consequence of lethargic status. Onset time is consistent for signs. Death not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Reliability of data is questionable due to limited information (medical history, chronology and necropsy not available). Other etiologies are more probable. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Though time to onset 8 days, death is inconsistent with the pharmacological product profile. Cause for death unrelated to product use. In the end, product involvement was considered unlikely.
