18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Minor

19. Provide supplemental information here

B - Possible - Though would not expect generalized skin disorders after topical application, reported itching and rolling around may reflect paresthesia caused by permethrin. Scratching is not expected to be localized at flanks and ears but rather be linked to the application site. However, may be a consequence of the uncomfortable feeling caused by the applied product. Considering consistent time to onset, a product connection is deemed to be possible.
