(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On approximately 22-Dec-2020, the dog developed intermittent emesis and diarrhea. On approximately 29-Dec-2020, the dog died. No necropsy was performed.
Death
O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Reported digestive signs, namely intermittent emesis and diarrhea, are unspecific and may have numerous other causes (e.g. gastrointestinal infection, dietary incompatibility). Though mild gastrointestinal signs may occur shortly after product application, they are not expected to appear with long time to onset. No oral product exposure reported. Later reported death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with product's 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. No serious signs reported in close proximity to death. Animal was not evaluated by a veterinarian, nor any treatments were performed. Also, animal's health status and medical history, if any, is unknown. No necropsy was performed. Time to onset is long. Other unrelated causes must be considered in this dog. Overall, product relation to the case is unassessable.
