(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

On approximately 01-Jun-2017, a 25 pound, neutered, male, Cavalier King Charles canine, of an unknown age and condition, with concomitant congestive heart failure, was administered 1 tube of K9 Advantix II Large Dog (Imidacloprid-Permethrin-Pyriproxyfen) topically by the owner. On approximately 07-Jun-2017 the dog died due to complications from congestive heart failure. 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 call was to discuss the use of K9 Advantix II on his current pet and not to report the death of the patient. No further information is expected. This case is closed.


To be determined by Registrant

18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Dog likely died due to congestive heart failure. Moreover intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss the use product on his current pet and not to report the death of the patient. Considering long time to onset (6 days), a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
