Read this first · FDA's caveat, in its words

An API dataset query result cannot be used to estimate the risk associated with the product or compare one drug or device product with another. When looking at the results, be aware that there is no certainty that the reported drug or device caused the adverse event. This dataset should not be the sole source of information for clinical decision-making or other assumptions about the safety or effectiveness of a product. The adverse event may have been related to an underlying disease, other drugs used at the same time or other non-drug related sources. FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine

Do not rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care. While we make every effort to ensure that data is accurate, you should assume all results are unvalidated. We may limit or otherwise restrict your access to the API in line with our Terms of Service.

Not veterinary advice. This site lists what was reported to FDA. For an animal that is unwell, contact a veterinarian.

"Human exposure" covers reports about a person exposed to an animal drug; it has no page. Species is not given in the remaining reports, most of which are product-defect reports with no animal involved. A species' share follows how many animals are treated and how readily their keepers report: companion animals dominate because owners and clinics report individually.
