O - Unclassifiable/unassessable
Reported behavioural disorders are very unspecific signs and may have other numerous causes. Reported fever followed by adipsia and off food may be associated with diagnosed Lyme's disease. No ticks were reported and thus it is unclear when the dog contracted the Lyme disease. Moreover, Lyme disease has a long incubation period (1-5 months), therefore the animal could have contracted the disease before product application. Death after product application is not expected in dogs, as it is inconsistent with the pharmaco-toxicological profile of the product. Sign might be a consequence of the Lyme's disease or other etiologies are possible as well. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Exact time to onset is unknown. Considering all aspects, product involvement is unassessable.
