Parasiticide use and obesity in dogs with sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome
While a statistically significant association was found between imidacloprid use and SARDS, this is unlikely to be clinically significant given the lack of a temporal association, sparse exposure numbers, and low point estimate of the OR. A positive association between being overweight or obese and a diagnosis of SARDS was found independent of polyphagia and weight gain, suggesting that it may be a risk factor for the development of SARDS.
