(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 2016, a 15 year old, 4 pound, female, Chihuahua dog, in unknown condition, with a concomitant medical condition of an unspecified heart disorder, had 1 Seresto Small Dog (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the animal owner. On an unknown date post application, in 2016, the dog died. No necropsy was performed. 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 phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. No further information is expected. This 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. Product has wide margin of safety. Outcome was likely consequence of underlying cardiac disorder in this geriatric animal. Moreover, the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss the use of the product and not to report the death of the patient. Therefore, although some information (e.g. time to onset and necropsy details) are missing, considering known safety profile of product, product connection is ruled out.
