Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. In this case oral exposure was suspected as teeth marks present and unknown amount of collar missing. However, oral exposure is not expected to cause serious signs but mere gastrointestinal signs and swallowing of parts of collar by a cat is very unusual. Oral exposure was not witnessed and here no further signs reported. As no further exam performed (necropsy), case finally considered unassessable.
