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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Decrease appetite is not expected as sign was reported prior to the product application. Product has very low allergic potential. However, in individual cases, a hypersensitivity reaction to the product such as hives are possible in animals that are particularly sensitive (as with any substance). Short time to onset. No other possible cause reported. Reported rash is not expected after product use, however, in this case rather associated with current flea infestation. Reported lethargy is unspecific sign may be a consequence of the feeling caused by the applied product. Warm skin is not anticipated with appropriate topical product use. Reported emesis is an unspecific sign and may have many potential causes. However, time to onset is short. Product may have been groomed off of the application site. Death after product application is not expected in dogs, as it is inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Other etiologies are more likely. Animal was treated with a too low dose of the product, thus the labelled efficacy of the product cannot be guaranteed. Therefore a lack of efficacy cannot be considered. However, considering very low level of information (no necropsy details), a product connection is remains unassessable.
