Spaniel - Springer Welsh Pet Health Insights

Across the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine adverse event database, Spaniel - Springer Welsh accounts for 155 submitted reports and currently ranks #202 by report volume within the dog population. Of those reports, 5 involved a death outcome — a 320.0% case-fatality figure calculated directly from the underlying FDA records rather than from external mortality studies. The mean age at time of reporting is 6.2 years, with an average recorded body weight of 21.1 kg (46.5 lbs). These figures reflect the voluntary reporting pool only and should be read alongside breed popularity, veterinary access, and owner awareness — all of which shape how many events ever reach the FDA.

The most frequently reported clinical signs for Spaniel - Springer Welsh are Vomiting (28 reports), Lack of efficacy - NOS (14 reports), Lethargy (see also Central nervous system depression in 'Neurological') (13 reports), together capturing a substantial share of the top-reaction traffic seen in this breed's record. On the product side, Ivermectin + Pyrantel As Pamoate Salt appears in 28 reports and is the single most-referenced drug, followed by Afoxolaner (28) and Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (22). Counts like these surface which therapeutic classes dominate the reporting stream — useful context when comparing reactions across breeds of the same dog species.

Outcome coding on the 155 reports with a recorded status is dominated by Outcome Unknown (40.0% of coded outcomes). Annual submission volume ranges from 2,010 to 2,025 reports across the 16 years on file, indicating the reporting trend is shaped as much by awareness cycles as by underlying clinical events. Because FDA adverse event reports describe correlation rather than causation, these numbers are most useful as a signal of where to ask further questions with a veterinarian — not as a standalone risk score for any individual dog.

Understanding Spaniel - Springer Welsh Adverse Event Data

Spaniel - Springer Welsh has 155 adverse event reports on file. Lower report volumes may reflect a less common breed, lower reporting rates, or genuinely fewer adverse events.

The most frequently referenced drug in adverse reports is Ivermectin + Pyrantel As Pamoate Salt, appearing in 28 reports. This may indicate widespread use of the medication rather than a specific safety concern for Spaniel - Springer Welsh.
