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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Vomiting may have many potential causes. Sign is not expected after topical product use and oral product intake was not witnessed. However, short time to onset and thus a reaction to accidentally ingested product cannot be excluded. Waekness is likely associated with vomiting. Further limping, unable to rise, hypothermia and death are not expected with use of product as inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. No necropsy was performed. Considering the product profile, product involvement is deemed rather unlikely, however due to limited information and short time to onset, case was considered to be unassessable.
