(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unspecified date post application in approximately2019, the dog exhibited a stroke and died. No necropsy was performed. Due to the sensitive nature of the communication, specific relevant details were not obtained, nor will such be sought. The intent of the call was to inquire about product use in general and not to report this event. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported stroke and subsequent death are not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with product's pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause serious signs either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. This is supported by the extremely low systemic exposure with imidacloprid and flumethrin, particularly during the first week after application and also thereafter. Death may be a consequence of stroke in this geriatric animal. However, the intent of the call was to inquire about product use in general and not to report this event. Considering limited information (i.e. Medical history, health status and time to onset), a product elation for the case is unassessable.
