18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Lethargy is an unspecific sign and may have multiple potential other causes in a dog. However, sign might be a consequence of the later diagnosed immune mediated hemolytic anemia due to which the dogs condition worsened. Immune mediated hemolytic anemia and death are not expected after product application, as they are inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Death was likely due to the immune system disorder. Finally, even though some information is missing regarding the necropsy details and time to onset for initial signs is consistent, considering the provided information including signs, chronology, the products pharmacological profile, long time to onset for death (8 days) and the fact that an alternative cause was identified, a product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
