Here’s an image from an acute
Here’s an image from an acute on chronic yorkie that went diabetic on the post ” What Lies Beneath the Diabetes.” I think you have to rule out structural disease when diabetes starts or is non regulated…ie suppurative hepatitis, uti/pyelonephritis, occult neoplasia, splenic thrombosis, Cushing’s and so forth.

Thanks Eric!
I agree with

Thanks Eric!
I agree with all what you said! it is important to rule out underlying causes. I just asked because this week I had 3 cases with non regulated diabetes that had unremarkable, two of them with UTI under treatment, but otherwise unremarkable abdomen. I just wanted to be sure that Im not missing anything. 🙂 Thanks

Hi

As I think about it I actually found that I frequently in non compensated diabetic dogs, regarding the pancreas, have an hyperechoic pancreas that I imagine is fatty infiltration (most of these animals are obese…). Does anyone else see that or is it just me?

Just did this one today in a
Just did this one today in a 16 yr old Yorkie which is of course a diabetic breed. But I see this hyperechoic pancreas often in Yorkies schnauzers and many terrier breeds. This one happened to have a presumed pheo adrenal mass on the right side but not related and was not diabetic. But this is the pancreatic presentation we are discussing. Anyone have histopath on this presentation?

I haven’t done any
I haven’t done any histopathology, The only way to FNA or Biopsy is from my own pocket…..
But I see it often not only i diabetics, a I said and I do think it’s benign. Let’s see what other say.

Lost the upload on the image owing to server transfer but here is that hyperechoic pancreas in the Yorkie I was discussing before. No signs of pancreatic disease but I think this is what caroline is talking about.
