(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date post application, in 2012, the dog exhibited an application site burn. On 03Jan2018, the dog was examined by a veterinarian, diagnosed with cancer and died. It is unknown if a necropsy was preformed. The owner was not calling to report the death of this patient but to inquire about use on another animal. No further information is expected. This case is closed. Follow up received on 26th Nov 2018: On 03Jan2013, the dog was examined by a veterinarian, diagnosed with cancer and died. It is unknown if a necropsy was preformed. The owner was not calling to report the death of this patient but to inquire about use on another animal. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
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.
