Question on proper technique for solving this equation

This is NOT a homework question. I am having trouble solving the following differential equation to solve for A[r]:

Any suggestions?

As far as I can see it is a Bernoulli differential equation of the form ##A'(r) = p(r) A^2(r) + q(r) A(r)## with rational functions ##p(r)## and ##q(r)##. The substitution ##B(r) = A^{-1}(r)## delivers then the LDE ##B' = -p-q B##.

Awesome! That's it. Thanks so much.
