What the FDA AER plate says about Impaired vocalisation

Signature read: 53 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Impaired vocalisation in the CVM extract. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 53 of 263 reports were death-coded (20.2% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Hyperaemic mucous membrane (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (163). Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (26).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
