O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Even though more expected after oral uptake, Permethrin has the potential to cause slight neurological disorders (e.g. tremors, twitching, ataxia) in particular susceptible animals. However in this case it is unknown which neurological signs shown by the animal. No oral exposure reported. Time to onset is long (3 days). Death is not expected after product application as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Moreover, previous exposure was well tolerated. Time to onset is unknown, however supposedly long. Other causes should be considered in this geriatric dog. Considering overall aspects, a product connection is unassessable.
