DOGS

 

 

According to the FDA:

"In common terms, an adverse drug experience (ADE) is either an undesired side effect, or the lack of a desired effect. The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) defines an ADE as 'any side effect, injury, toxicity, or sensitivity reaction (or failure to perform as expected) associated with use of an animal drug, whether or not determined to be attributable to the drug.' " (This means that you need only SUSPECT that the side effect is caused by the drug; you do not have to prove it.)
