18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely Tumor on the spleen, pancreatitis and further reported death are not expected after product application as inconsistent with pharmaco toxicological product profile. Time to onset is rather long (2.5 weeks). Death likely related to a diagnosed medical status. Moreover the dog was of advanced age. Considering long time to onset for an anaphylactic shock, a product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
