(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in 2017, a dog, of unknown signalment and condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, had 1 Seresto Dog Collar (unspecified) (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) placed around the neck by the animal owner. On an unspecified date post application in 2017, the dog was hit by a car and died. No known 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 inquire about a refund for the collar and not to report the death in this event. 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. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. As mentioned in the case, the outcome was the consequence of car accident. Also, the reason for the initial phone call was to inquire about a refund for the collar and not to report the death in this event. Thus, even though some information is not available (e.g. state of health, necropsy details and date of onset), sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement is considered unlikely.
