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.
