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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported in close proximity of product application. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after (3 years). Further, the owner did not believe in product involvement either as reason for the initial call was to discuss the expiration of the product and not to report the death of the patient. In spite of the limited information (animal details, time to onset, necropsy results and medical history of the dog unknown), considering known safety profile of the product, product relation is unlikely.
