(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date post application, in approximately Jun 2018, the canine died. It was unknown if a necropsy examination 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 call was to discuss the use of the product on a new pet and not to report the death in this event. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
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 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. Other unrelated causes are more probable. Moreover, the reason for the initial call was to discuss the use of the product on a new pet and not to report the death. In the end, even though some information is missing (time to onset), a product involvement is considered to be unlikely.
