(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in approximately 2013, the dog had 1 Seresto Dog Collar (unspecified) (Imidacloprid-Flumethrin) placed around the neck by the owner. On an unknown date in approximately 2014, the dog died. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed. No further information is expected. This case is closed. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, specific relevant event details were not obtained, nor will such be sought. The reason for the initial call was to discuss ticks and not to report the death of this canine.
Death
N - Unlikely. Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. 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. Even level of information available seems low e.g. age, weight, condition of dog, medical history, product details and necropsy not available, other etiologies more probable. Exact time to onset is unknown but seems too long (approx.1 year). Moreover, the reason for the initial call to Bayer was to discuss ticks and not to report the death of this canine. Finally, considering the provided data, sufficient information exists to confirm that the product did not cause the event and product involvement was considered to be unlikely.
