Major
15. Provide supplemental information here.
O-Unassessable: No eye exposure reported. The collar is odorless and its active ingredients are not volatile at room temperature. Eye disorders or related signs are not expected, in this case likely associated with other reported signs (e.g. allergy NOS). Moreover, reported allergy is not expected, especially that neither direct nor indirect product exposure described and no information about affected site. A lot of information missing (e.g. time to onset, adverse event details, duration, outcome). Product involvement is considered unassessable. Initial assessment confirmed by medical doctor.
