(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date in Apr 2016, the canine was diagnosed with Lyme disease and died secondary to the Lyme disease. No necropsy was performed.
No further information expected. This case is closed. LDSM: The intent of the call was to discuss use of the product on another pet and not to report the death of the dog. 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
Reported death is not expected in a dog after product application, as it is inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Previous applications were
well tolerated. Moreover, it is stated that dog died of Lyme disease. No ticks were reported and thus unclear when the dog contracted the Lyme disease. Moreover Lyme disease has a long incubation period (1-5 months) therefore the animal could have contracted the disease before Advantix application. Actually, the intent of the call was to discuss use of the product on another pet and not to report the death of the dog. Finally, though no necropsy was performed and time to onset for death is not provided, considering the known product profile, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
