Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Death not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Reliability of data is questionable due to limited information (product and animal details, medical history, chronology, necropsy not available). Other etiologies are more probable. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. 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. The owner called to inquire about using another product on another cat in the household and not to report this event. Finally, product involvement was considered to be unlikely.
