Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable In individual cases, dermal reactions at the application site are possible in animals that are particular sensitive. Would not expect application site burn directly related to the product however, likely dog scratched/ licked at site and caused skin lesions by self-trauma. Diagnosed cancer and death are inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. Product has wide margin of safety. The oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. Outcome was likely a consequence of cancer. The product has no carcinogen potential. Considering unknown time to onset, a product involvement is unassessable.
