The reaction is indexed in the openFDA system under VeDDRA code 99678, the standardized veterinary dictionary used to normalize clinical signs across submitters.

Within those species, the breeds most often named alongside this reaction are Quarter Horse (2), Persian (1), Spaniel - Springer (unspecified) (1). 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.
