(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 10Mar2021, the cat developed anorexia and lethargy. On approximately 11Mar2021, the cat died. No necropsy was performed. No further information is expected. This case is closed.
Death
O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported anorexia and lethargy are an unspecific signs and may have numerous other causes. Signs may occur initially after collar administration but are not expected to appear after long time. Other causes are more probable. Further, death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not expected to cause serious signs either. An overdose of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period without causing serious signs. This is supported by the extremely low systemic exposure with imidacloprid and flumethrin, particularly during the first week after application and also thereafter. Time to onset is long. Considering the geriatric age of the animal and inadequate information regarding state of health, medical history and necropsy details, a product involvement is unassessable.
