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. Time for reporting is too long (3 years and more) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to inquire about using products on a new pet and not to report this event. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Other causes are more probable in this geriatric dog. Finally, though low level of information (medical history and necropsy details are not available), considering known product safety profile, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
