Note: The intent of this call was not to report this event but to inquire about using the product on another feline.


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 after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergic/anaphylactic reaction reported. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. The cat may have died due to old age (23 years). Moreover, the intent of this call was not to report this event but to inquire about using the product on another feline. In the end, though some information is not available (time to onset and necropsy report), considering unexpected serious outcome, age of the cat and intent of the call, a product relation is unlikely.
