(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Approximately 3 hours post application the dog broke out in hives. The dog was examined by a veterinarian, and was administered an unknown cortisone injection. Approximately 2 days post application, in 2004, the dog recovered. On an unspecified date in 2008, the dog was diagnosed with a liver shunt. An unspecified time post diagnosis, in 2008, the dog died. No known necropsy was performed. No more information is expected. This case is closed. Note: intent of call was likely to report the serious event occurring recently in another dog.

18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Though reported hives may reflect hypersensitivity reaction to the product, later reported liver shunt is not expected after product application as it is inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Death is not expected either and is likely a consequence of reported liver shunt. Moreover, reporting occurred an exceptionally long time (approximately 8 years) after death as probably reported concomitantly to the serious event occurring recently in another dog. Even though no necropsy was performed and time to onset is short for initial sign, considering very long time to onset (approximately 4 years) for unexpected serious sign and fatal outcome, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
