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

On an unspecified date in 2004 the dog had an unspecified pancreatic disorder and was found deceased. It is unknown if a necropsy was performed. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, specific relevant event details were not obtained. The reason for the phone call was to discuss product on a different pet and not to report the death in this event. No further information is expected. 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 Reported pancreatic disorder and death are not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Systemic absorption of product is negligible. Very low level of information (medical history and time to onset are unknown, necropsy not available) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to discuss product use on a different pet, and not to report the events in this report 14 years ago. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Considering all aspects, despite the lack of detailed information, product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
