(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On 26-Jul-2017 the dog died at home. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed.
Death
The caller contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about product use on a different pet and not to report the death of this pet. Case is closed. 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. Further the owner did not believe in product involvement either as the caller contacted Bayer Animal Health to inquire about product use on a different pet and not to report the death of this pet. Time to onset is long. Although it is unknown if necropsy was performed, considering the known product profile sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event. Finally, product involvement was deemed to be unlikely.
