Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) commonly occurs in dogs, and the laboratorial confirmation is carriedout by glycemia test. The diagnosis and monitoring in humans is made by glycated hemoglobinand fructosamine concentrations. The objective of this study was to diagnose DM in 19 dogs, byevaluating seric glucose, glycated hemoglobin and fructosamine concentrations. Six dogs with DMand treated with insulin were assisted during a twelve-month period, by means of the same bloodanalysis, until the death (three dogs) or glycemic control (three dogs). Glucose, glycated hemoglobinand fructosamine increased in all dogs with DM, and dogs that did not survive presented higherglycated hemoglobin and seric glucose values than those that survived at the last evaluation. Theresults showed the importance of evaluating glycated hemoglobin and fructosamine in dogs with DMto diagnose and control treatment effectiveness.
