19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported anorexia is unspecific and may have numerous other causes. Weight loss is unexpected and may be related to reported anorexic status. Further death is not expected after topical product application either as sign inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. The cat may have died due to old age. Time to onset is long. Moreover, the intent of the call was to discuss product use on another pet and not to report the death of the cat. Although no necropsy was performed, considering known safety profile of product a product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
