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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported pancreatitis and death are not expected after product application, as they are inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Other causes should be considered in this geriatric dog (e.g. concomitant medical condition of heart disease). Considering that the time to onset is more than 12 hours, an allergic/anaphylactic-type reaction can be ruled out. Overall, a product connection is unassessable.
