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

On an unspecified date in Jul-2015, the dog died. A necropsy was not performed. The initial contact to Bayer was to inquire about using the left over product on a new dog and not to report this event. No more information is expected. This case is closed. Note: previous applications well tolerated


To be determined by Registrant

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. Rather long time for reporting (9 months) and limited information (time to onset unknown) as intent of the phone call to Bayer was to inquire about using the left over product on a new dog and not to report this event. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Previous applications well tolerated Other causes are more probable in this geriatric dog e.g. medical history of neoplasia which may have contributed to death of the dog. Though necropsy was not performed, considering all aspects, a product connection deemed to be unlikely.
