Skin haematoma Reaction Insights

89 reports name Skin haematoma; 14 recorded a death outcome (15.7% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 1757.

By species: Dog (68 reports), Cat (16 reports), Cattle (2 reports). By breed: Domestic (unspecified) (9), Pit Bull (6), Retriever - Labrador (6).

Most co-reported drugs: Carprofen (11 reports), Selamectin (10 reports), Spinosad (7 reports), Maropitant Citrate (5 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.
