In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after. Moreover, the caller contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about using the remainder of the product on their new pet and not to report this event. Even though exact time to onset is unknown and necropsy is not performed, considering over all aspects, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
