Plain-English summary
A group of 130 dogs with skin problems were diagnosed with canine pyoderma, a common skin infection that can cause symptoms like pus-filled bumps, itching, redness, and hair loss. The dogs showed various forms of the infection, including surface and deep pyoderma, often linked to other skin issues. Treatment typically involves identifying the underlying cause and using appropriate medications to clear the infection and soothe the skin. With proper care, many dogs can recover and have healthier skin.

Abstract
Canine pyoderma is one of the most common causes of dermatitis with worldwide occurrence in small animal practice. The condition is diagnosed on the basis of clinical manifestations, isolation and identification of causative organisms by bacteriological cultural examination. A study was conducted on 130 dogs diagnosed with canine pyoderma presented at the Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC), Veterinary College, Anand. These included cases of surface pyoderma (15), superficial pyoderma (50), deep pyoderma (32) and secondary pyoderma (33). The common clinical manifestations observed were exudation of pus, pruritus, erythema, pustules, papules, crusts, epidermal collarettes and alopecia. Canine pyoderma found secondary to other dermatological afflictions illustrated manifestations associated with the underlying cause. Hence, the condition should be differentially diagnosed and treated accordingly.
