Physiologic degloving was most frequently caused by vehicular trauma (10 of 18 [55.6%]) or attack by another animal (8 of 18 [44.4%]) and primarily affected the thorax (7 of 18 [38.9%]) and abdomen (6 of 18 [33.3%]). Concurrent injuries were present in 15 of 18 cases (83.3%). Clinicopathologic abnormalities affecting 50% or more of dogs included hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, and anemia. Treatments frequently included systemic antibiotics, blood product administration, and feeding tube placement. Multidrug-resistant organisms were identified on 6 of 15 cultures (40.0%). Wound management typically included negative pressure wound therapy or active suction drainage, with many dogs requiring prolonged open wound management. The overall mortality rate was 33.3% (12 survivors, 6 nonsurvivors), with a median hospitalization time of 9 days (IQR, 5 to 14 days).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dogs with physiologic degloving injuries may have substantial morbidity requiring intensive monitoring and wound management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinicians treating dogs with physiologic degloving should anticipate the need for intensive supportive care, including blood products and early nutritional intervention.
