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

On an unknown date post application in Aug2016, the canine died. No known 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 communication was to discuss the expiration date of the product and not to report the death in this event. No more information is expected and 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 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 dogs for an 8 months period without causing serious signs. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Dog involved in this case was geriatric with a concomitant medical condition of diabetes. Moreover, the reason for the initial phone call was to discuss expiration date of the product and not to report the death in this event. Even though some information is not available (e.g. time to onset, health status and necropsy report), considering known product profile a product relation is unlikely.
