Bloated Reaction Insights

471 reports name Bloated; 170 recorded a death outcome (36.1% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 1349.

By species: Dog (320 reports), Cattle (87 reports), Cat (36 reports). By breed: Retriever - Labrador (32), Crossbred Canine/dog (23), Chihuahua (19).

Most co-reported drugs: Monensin Sodium (44 reports), Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (43 reports), Tylosin Phosphate (30 reports), Trilostane (29 reports).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
