No more information is expected. This 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
Swollen lymph node and further reported death are not expected after topical product application, as sign inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product 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. Other unrelated causes must be considered in this case. Time to onset is not suggestive of product relation. Overall, a product involvement is considered as unlikely.
