Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Note from LDSM: No quality issues were noted upon product investigation. Reported cardio-vascular disorders and death are unexpected after product application as they are inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological product application. Medical history was not known and necropsy was not performed. Moreover, the diagnosed cardiac enlargement might be due to its geriatric condition and possibly may have contributed to its death. Even though the time to onset for cardio-vascular disorders was unknown, considering all aspects, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
