Localised pain NOS (see other 'SOCs' for specific pain) Reaction Insights

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently lists 1,415 adverse event reports that reference Localised pain NOS (see other 'SOCs' for specific pain) as a reaction term, including 172 reports with a death outcome — a 1220.0% case-fatality figure calculated across only those events where this reaction was coded. The reaction is indexed in the openFDA system under VeDDRA code 1026, the standardized veterinary dictionary used to normalize clinical signs across submitters. Because reports are voluntary and often describe multiple concurrent signs per animal, the volume here reflects reporting intensity rather than true incidence in the broader pet population.

Localised pain NOS (see other 'SOCs' for specific pain) appears most frequently in reports for Dog (1,166 reports), Cat (123 reports), Human (74 reports) — with Dog dominating at 1,166 entries. Within those species, the breeds most often named alongside this reaction are Retriever - Labrador (102), Unknown (76), Domestic Shorthair (72). These distributions are influenced both by underlying breed popularity and by how veterinarians and owners code a given clinical sign, so they should be interpreted as a reporting fingerprint rather than a pure susceptibility ranking.

The drugs most commonly co-reported with Localised pain NOS (see other 'SOCs' for specific pain) are Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (213 reports), Carprofen (143 reports), Moxidectin (106 reports), Oclacitinib Maleate (88 reports), with Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad appearing alongside this reaction in 213 submissions. Co-reporting does not establish that any specific product caused the reaction — FDA CVM data captures temporal association only. The value of these aggregates is in flagging which therapeutic classes appear repeatedly alongside a given clinical sign, so owners and veterinarians can ask targeted questions about medications currently in use.
