Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely A behavioural response to the product sensation or to the product smell may occur. Vomiting is an unspecific and may have many potential causes. Sign is not expected after topical product use and oral product uptake was not witnessed. Later reported death is inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported. 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 was hit by a car and died. Even though level of information is extremely low (necropsy result, time to onset), considering serious outcome and chronology, product relation is unlikely.
