(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

On approximately 05Jan2016, the dog was vomiting. The dog was examined on unspecified dates by 3 different veterinarians with unknown diagnostics or treatments performed. On approximately 19Jan2016, the dog died. It was unknown if a necropsy was performed. The owner originally called to discuss the product and not to report the death of this animal. No further information is expected; this case is closed.


To be determined by Registrant

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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Vomiting is rather unspecific in dog and may have multiple potential causes. Potential oral uptake was not reported, however rather long time to onset even if oral uptake had occurred (3 days). Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Low level of information (state of health unknown, necropsy not available) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss the product, and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies are more probable. Though no investigation performed, considering long time to onset (3 days for vomiting and 17 days for death), a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
