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

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported lethargy and vocalization are unspecific signs and may have multiple potential other causes in a dog. Anorexia and adipsia are likely associated with reported lethargy. Unresponsive and death are not expected in dogs, as inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Time to onset is more than 12 hours, therefore an allergic/anaphylactic-type reaction can be ruled out. Other causes are more probable. Time to onset is bit long. Overall considering all aspects, a product connection is remains unassessable.
