18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported signs are not expected as they are inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Time to onset was exceptionally long (approx. 4 years) due to the fact that the reporting party did not call to report the death of this animal but to inquire about use on another animal. Other causes are more probable. Considering all aspects, a product relation is considered to be unlikely.
