(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On 03-Feb-2018, the feline was hit by a car and died. The feline was not examined by a vet and 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 phone call was to discuss the use of the product on another pet and not to report the death of the feline. No further information is expected. Case is closed.
Death
N-Unlikely:The cat was hit by the car, which has no relation with the collar use. Subsequently reported death is the consequence of this accident and is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with product¿¿¿¿¿¿s 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. Further the owner contacted Bayer Animal Health to discuss the use of the product on another pet and not to report the death of the feline. Considering these aspects, in spite of the limited information (time to onset, necropsy results), considering known safety profile of the product, a product relation is unlikely.
