(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On 08Aug2015 the cat had unspecified hemorrhaging and died. The collar was removed. The cat was not seen by a veterinarian and it is unknown if a necropsy was preformed. The collar was used off label as it was worn for longer than 8 months. 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
Haemorrhage and death are not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause death either. Collar was well tolerated for an exceptionally long period (almost 14 months). Other causes (e.g. coagulopathies, acute poisoning, trauma) are more likely to have resulted in the signs. Overall, sufficient information exists to rule out product involvement. Thus, even though it is unknown if necropsy was performed, considering known product profile, a product relation deemed to be unlikely.
