(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 10-Nov-2020, the dog had an alive, attached and engorged tick removed. On 23-Nov-2020, the dog exhibited lethargy and anorexia. On 24-Nov-2020, the dog exhibited being unable to walk (weakness). The dog was examined by a veterinarian, a tick blood panel was performed and the dog had a positive test for anaplasmosis. It was unknown if treatments were performed. On 25-Nov-2020, the dog died. No necropsy was performed. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
O - Unclassifiable/unassessable SLEE/ticks. Reported anorexia, lethargy and weakness are unspecific signs and not expected long term after product use and in this case may be associated reported further diagnosed anaplasmosis. Product¿¿¿¿¿¿s repellent effect against ticks is not 100%. Attachment of individual ticks is possible when infestation pressure is high and thus infection with anaplasmosis may occur exceptionally. Anaplasmosis control products reduce the risk of transmission substantially, but cannot eliminate the risk completely. Death after product application is not expected in dogs, as it is 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. No necropsy was performed. Considering overall aspects, a product connection is unassessable.
