(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date, a feline 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. An unspecified amount of time after application, the patient had application site irritation. The owner removed the collar from the cat. An unspecified amount of time later, the cat died. It is unknown whether or not a necropsy was performed
Death
N- Unlikely. Application site reaction possibly related to product. Respective time to onset unknown, though. However, this case is characterised by the death of the animal. Death is a non-specific symptom. Indeed, any cat whether treated or not will eventually die. Severe disorders or fatal outcome are not expected following recommended use of the collar. No information on circumstances of death or its timely relation to collar administration available. In fact, there is no aspect contained in this case that would give a reasonable connection between product and death. Product relation therefore appears unlikely.
