Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
N - Unlikely. Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Time to onset is too long. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause death either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. It is unknown if a necropsy examination was performed. The reason for the initial phone call was to discuss product use on the new dog and not to report the death of this dog. Considering the known product profile and time to onset, sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement was considered unlikely
