(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On 15-Oct-2015 the cat died. No necropsy was performed. No more information is expected. Case is closed. Follow up received on 21st Oct 2015: On 07-Oct-2015, a 5 year old, 7 pound, neutered, female, Domestic Medium hair feline, in fair condition, with history of coughing, sneezing, and tracheal edema, had one Seresto Cat (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the owner. The cat was also on an unknown antbiotic and prednisone since an unknown date in Sep 2015. On 15-Oct-2015 the cat died. No necropsy was performed. No more information is expected. Case is closed.
Death
Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with product¿¿¿¿¿¿s pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause death either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats for an 8 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Underlying medical problems of cat indicate other causes. Although no necropsy performed but considering the known product profile and time to onset, sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement is unlikely.
