(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unkown date in Apr2017, a 5 year old, 5 pound, neutered, female, Unknown Breed feline, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, had 1 Seresto Cat (Flumethrin-Imidacloprid) collar placed around the neck by the owner. On an unknown date in May2017, the cat was examined by a veterinarian, It was unknwon if or treatments were performed and the cat 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 more information was expected and this case is closed. Note: previous exposure was well tolerated by animal.
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. Moreover the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss if the product had an expiration date and not to report the death in this event. Previous exposure was well tolerated by animal. Even though some information is not available (e.g. medical history, necropsy report), considering known product profile a product relation is unlikely.
