One study found 22% of diabetic dogs with dermatopathy had no other comorbidities while cats have not been evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives<\/jats:title>\n This study evaluated the association of DM and pyoderma in dogs and cats by identifying comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n This retrospective study analysed canine and feline DM cases from August 2019 to November 2022 at Iowa State University and Colorado State University. We analysed cytologically confirmed pyoderma and assessed the prevalence of comorbidities, including allergies, thyroid and adrenal disease, neoplasia and other dermatological disorders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Pyoderma was prevalent in 7.6% (61 of 805) dogs and 4.0% (15 of 372) cats with concurrent DM. Of 61 dogs, two (3.3%) lacked comorbidities which was considered protective (odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20090.06; 95% CI 0.01\u20130.29;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). Allergic dermatitis was the most common comorbidity (70.5%) in dogs with increased odds (OR\u2009=\u20099.15; 95% CI 4.25\u201319.72;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001).
