(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

On 05-Oct-2019, the dog exhibited diarrhea. On 07-Oct-2019, the dog was evaluated and administered unspecified vaccinations by the veterinarian and started on a bland diet. On 08-Oct-2019, the diarrhea worsened. The dog then exhibited anorexia and intermittent vomiting. The dog was evaluated by an emergency veterinarian. The parvovirus test ran was negative, and the dog was administered unspecified amounts of subcutaneous fluids, maropitant, and metronidazole by the veterinarian. The dog was not hospitalized. On 09-Oct-2019, the dog exhibited lethargy. The dog was examined by a veterinarian who performed blood work, radiographs, and a fecal exam; all were within normal limits. The dog was administered an unspecified dose of fenbendazole and maropitant by the veterinarian. On 10-Oct-2019, the dog exhibited inappropriate urination and inappropriate defecation. The dog was evaluated by another emergency veterinarian, hospitalized, and administered intravenous fluids. On 11-Oct-2019, the dog collapsed and died. No necropsy was performed.

19. Provide supplemental information here

Reported diarrhoea is an unspecific sign and may have many potential causes. Time to onset is consistent, however duration is exceptionally long. Dog was vaccinated and diet was changed, after which dog's condition deteriorated. Vomiting, lethargy, anorexia and later reported inappropriate urination and inappropriate defecation are unspecific signs. Collapse and death are not expected in dogs, as it is inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Other causes should be considered, e.g. other products used, or congenital disorders. No necropsy performed. Onset time is rather long for later reported signs. In the end, a product connection for the case is unassessable.
