Spaniel (unspecified) — FDA Adverse Event Profile

Spaniel (unspecified) Pet Health Insights

Across the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine adverse event database, Spaniel (unspecified) accounts for 3,074 submitted reports and currently ranks #60 by report volume within the dog population. Of those reports, 150 involved a death outcome — a 490.0% case-fatality figure calculated directly from the underlying FDA records rather than from external mortality studies. The mean age at time of reporting is 7.0 years, with an average recorded body weight of 13.9 kg (30.6 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 (unspecified) are Vomiting (502 reports), Lethargy (see also Central nervous system depression in 'Neurological') (291 reports), Diarrhoea (262 reports), together capturing a substantial share of the top-reaction traffic seen in this breed's record. On the product side, Pyrantel Pamoate;Sarolaner appears in 438 reports and is the single most-referenced drug, followed by Trilostane (404) and Oclacitinib Maleate (313). 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 3,077 reports with a recorded status is dominated by Ongoing (34.7% 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.
