The reaction is indexed in the openFDA system under VeDDRA code 99027, 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.

Tubes, Abnormal appears most frequently in reports for Unknown (1,095 reports), Human (25 reports), Cat (18 reports) — with Unknown dominating at 1,095 entries. Within those species, the breeds most often named alongside this reaction are Unknown (1,120), Domestic (unspecified) (5), Domestic Shorthair (5). 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.

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.
