By species: Dog (791 reports), Cattle (262 reports), Cat (82 reports). By breed: Retriever - Labrador (106), Cattle (unknown) (62), Retriever - Golden (47).

Most co-reported drugs: Oclacitinib Maleate (131 reports), Monensin Sodium (104 reports), Enrofloxacin (92 reports), Carprofen (74 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.
