(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date in 2016 the dog died of kidney disease. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed.
Death
The reason for the call was to discuss product use on current pet and not to report the death of this dog. N-Unlikely: Reported death and kidney disease are not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause such 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. Animal involved in this case was geriatric and died due to underlying kidney disease. Moreover, the reason for the call was to discuss product use on current pet and not to report the death of this dog. In case suspected product involvement adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after. Even though some information is not available (time to onset, necropsy report), considering available information a product relation is unlikely.
