(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date post application, in 2015, the canine died. It is unknown if the dog was examined or treated by a veterinarian and no known necropsy was performed. Limited information was obtained at the time of the communication. Further attempts to gather additional information will not be made. The reporting party contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about a replacement collar and not to report the death of this animal. No further information expected. Case is closed.
Death
Reported 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. Moreover, the reason for the initial phone call was to inquire about a replacement collar and not to report the death of this animal. In case of suspected involvement, sign would have been reported in close proximity and not a long time. Even though some information is not available (e.g. time to onset, health status and necropsy report), considering known product profile a product relation is unlikely.
