Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

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. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Moreover, the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss if the product could be used on another pet in the household and not to report the death in this event. Time to onset is long. Further, the animal reported in this case was geriatric which may be the likely cause for the death of the animal. Although no necropsy was performed, considering the known product safety profile and age of the animal sufficient information exists to conclude that the product did not cause the event and product involvement is considered unlikely.
