19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported application site disorders and generalized skin disorders are not related with product as signs occurred before product application. Death and septicemia are not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No oral exposure of the product. In this case animal ingested stick, which may have further resulted into septicemia and death of the animal. Exact time to onset unknown. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after (4 years). Though necropsy was not performed, sufficient information exists to rule out product involvement. Finally, a product relation considered as unlikely.
