(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date in approximately Jun2018, the cat died. No necropsy was performed. Due to the sensitive nature of the the comunication, certain relevant details were not obtained, nor will such be sought. The reason for the initial communication was to discuss use of the product and not to report the death in this event. No more information expected. Case closed.
Death
N - Unlikely Reported 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. No signs of anaphylaxis reported which would have occurred in close proximity to the collar application. Moreover, the reason for the initial communication was to discuss use of the product and not to report the death in this event. Even though some information (e.g. time to onset, necropsy results) is not available, considering the known product profile and intent of call, a product involvement is deemed to be unlikely.
