  • Title: Diabetes mellitus induced in a dog after administration of corticosteroids and methylprednisolone pulse therapy.
    Author: Jeffers JG, Shanley KJ, Schick RO.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Jul 01; 199(1):77-80. PubMed ID: 1885333.
    Abstract:
    An 8-year-old ovariohysterectomized Chow Chow was referred because of dermatologic lesions diagnosed as pemphigus foliaceus. Intolerance to orally administered corticosteroids necessitated the use of methylprednisolone pulse therapy. One week after treatment, diabetes mellitus was diagnosed on the basis of blood and urine test results. For 3 years after treatment, the dog has remained a well-regulated diabetic. Complete remission of pemphigus foliaceus is maintained by alternate-day, orally administered prednisone (0.5 mg/kg of body weight).
