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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely Reported tick born illness is not expected after product application. No ticks were reported and thus unclear when the dog contracted any disease. Moreover type of illness is not specified. Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Moreover death is likely associated with tick borne disease. Very low level of information (age, medical history and time to onset unknown - necropsy not available) Very long time for reporting as the intent of the call was to inquire about product use in general and not to report this event. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Even though time to onset unknown, occurrence of sign within window of allergic/anaphylactic reaction (within 1 day) unlikely, as would have been reported in close proximity. Other etiologies more probable. Considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
