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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Vomiting is unspecific and may have numerous other causes (e.g. gastrointestinal infection, dietary incompatibility). No oral product exposure reported. Other reported systemic signs are likely associated with vomiting. Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause serious signs either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Time to onset long. Considering the known product profile, even though no necropsy was performed, sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the serious sign and overall, a product involvement considered as unlikely.
