18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Reliability of data is questionable due to limited
information (product and animal details such as weight, necropsy not available). Other etiologies are more probable. Product has wide margin of safety. The oral
LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Dog involved in this case is geriatric. Though time to onset unknown, death is inconsistent with the pharmacological product profile. In the end, a product connection deemed to be unlikely.
