(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date, a male, canine, of unknown signalment, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, had 1 Seresto (unspecified) (Flumethrin- Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the owner. Approximately 2 months later, on an unknown date, the dog died. It is unknown whether or not a necropsy was performed
Death
N - Unlikely. Death would not be expected following use of the product; even not following oral ingestion or overdose. 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. Onset time not suggestive of product involvement as obviously the collar was tolerated well for 2 months. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have been expected to occur in close proximity to the collar application. Signs are not consistent with pharm-tox product profile. Limited information about treated animal. Unknown, why death occured. Unknown, if a necropsy was performed. But considering the provided chronology and the product's pharmacological profile, sufficient information exists to confirm that the product did not cause the event and product involvement was ruled out.
