(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 01-Jun-2020, the cat was examined by a veterinarian and diagnosed with an unspecified neoplasia. It is undetermined if treatments were performed. On approximately 01-Jul-2020, the cat died. No known necropsy was performed. 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
N - Unlikely Neoplasia and 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. Although not reported and no necropsy performed, death may be associated with diagnosed neoplasm (unspecified) in this case. Collar was well tolerated during the treatment period. Also the signs are reported very long time after collar removal. Thus, other unrelated causes are more probable. Furthermore, the intent of the call was not to report death of this cat but to inquire of the use of the product in general. Finally, a product relation is considered to be unlikely.
