19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Anorexia and adipsia are unspecific and may have various other causes. Time to onset is long. Further reported death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Oral exposure to the product is not expected to cause serious conditions leading to death. The product was administered to puppies/kittens at up to 5 times the recommended dose, every 2 weeks for 6 treatments and there were no serious safety concerns. Time to onset is long. Considering limited information such as medical history, animal details, health status and necropsy details, a product involvement is considered unassessable.
