The reaction is indexed in the openFDA system under VeDDRA code 99673, 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.

PR-SKIN, LESION(S) appears most frequently in reports for Dog (549 reports), Cat (111 reports), Cattle (8 reports) — with Dog dominating at 549 entries. Within those species, the breeds most often named alongside this reaction are Retriever - Labrador (61), Domestic Shorthair (43), Crossbred Canine/dog (41). 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 PR-SKIN, LESION(S) are Oclacitinib Maleate (278 reports), Cefovecin (73 reports), Carprofen (51 reports), Cyclosporine (41 reports), with Oclacitinib Maleate appearing alongside this reaction in 278 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.
