Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable This is an off-label use of product (Unauthorized species). 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 either. 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. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction are reported. Additionally, this animal with poor health status had concomitant anorexia and weight loss. Other unrelated causes must be considered in this case. Considering the product profile, product involvement is deemed rather unlikely, however due to some information missing (no necropsy report) and time to onset is unknown. Product relation is considered as unassessable.
