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

On an unknown date post administration in 2015, the canine died. It is unknown if the canine was euthanized or if a necropsy was performed. No further information is expected. This case is closed. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, specific relevant event details were not obtained, nor will such be sought. The reason for the initial call was to discuss the expiration of the product and not to report the death of the patient.


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 dog after product application, as it is inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Very long time for reporting (approximately > 10 months) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss the expiration of the product and not to report the death of the patient. 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. Other etiologies more probable. Even though necropsy details and time to onset are unknown, overall, considering the products known profile, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
