Limb weakness not expected after product Reported respiratory sign tachypnea and subsequentapplication, consistent time to onset however likely coincidental. Death not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. No necropsy done. Other causes more probable. Time to onset short, allergic/anaphylactic reaction cannot be ruled out. In the end, a product relation remains unassessable.
