Abstract

A 3 year-old pregnant female Yorkshire terrier dog was presented with major complaints of polyuria and polydipsia. Laboratory tests found persistent hyperglycemia and glucosuria. Abdominal ultrasound study found 2 dead fetuses. Ovarian hysterectomy was performed to remove the dead fetuses. After ovarian hysterectomy, the level of blood glucose was returned to normal range. In addition, the clinical signs and urine glucose were all disappeared. Based on findings on laboratory tests and follow-up study, the case was diagnosed as gestational diabetes mellitus. To our best knowledge, this is the first case report describing a gestational diabetes mellitus of dog in Korea.

3년령의 임신한 요크셔 테리어가 다음, 다뇨를 주증으로 내원하였다. 실험실적 검사를 통해 지속적인 고혈당과 당뇨를 확인하였다. 복부 초음파 검사를 통해 2마리의 죽은 태아가 관찰되었으며 난소자궁적출술을 통해 죽은 태아를 제거하였다. 난소자궁적출술 이후 혈당수치는 정상범위로 돌아왔으며 임상증상과 당뇨도 회복되었다. 실험실적 검사를 기초로 한 추가적인 연구를 통해 이 증례는 임신성 당뇨병으로 진단되었으며 국내에서 최초로 보고된 임신성 당뇨병 증례이다.
