(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in approximately 2016, an approximately 13 year old, male, cat, of unknown signalment and condition, with concomitant medical conditions of unspecified heath conditions, who lived indoors and outdoors, had 1 Seresto Cat (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the animal owner. On approximately 29 Mar 2017, the cat died. It is unknown if the cat was examined by a veterinarian. 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 reimbursement for another pet and not to report the death of this animal. No further information is expected; the case is closed.
Death
N - Unlikely 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. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Time to onset long. Moreover, the reason for the initial phone call was to inquire about reimbursement for another pet and not to report the death of this animal. Animal was geriatric with unspecified heath conditions which may have contributed to the death of the animal. Considering the known product profile sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement was ruled out.
