“…Dystrophic mineralisation has also been described in a canine uterine leiomyosarcoma 11 ; furthermore, generalised endometrial mineralisations related to long‐term progesterone administration have been reported in a bitch with pyometra 12 and in other bitch with cystic endometrial hyperplasia–pyometra complex and an ovarian granulosa cell tumour 13 . However, in these cases, mineralisations appeared on ultrasonography as echogenic pinpoint or straight endometrial foci or stippled hyperechoic lesions, accompanied by mild acoustic shadowing and comet tail artefact rather than C‐shaped structures.…”

A 10‐year‐old intact female Pug dog was presented with a 3‐month history of left inguinal distension. A tentative diagnosis of cystic endometrial hyperplasia and uterine mineralisation with inguinal herniation was made together with palpation, abdominal radiographic and ultrasonographic examination. Ovariohysterectomy and hernioplasty were simultaneously performed. The left uterine horn was herniated through the inguinal ring. On histopathology, multinodular calcified uterine leiomyoma associated with a diffuse endometrial cystic hyperplasia was diagnosed. Uterine herniation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of inguinal mass in an intact bitch, and uterine neoplasia may be found as an underlying disease.

“…However, a pattern of diffuse mineralisation in the uterus, as observed in this case, would be atypical in the uterine tumours. Multifocal areas of endometrial mineralisation have been observed in bitches under chronic treatment with synthetic progesterone,9 10 especially medroxyprogesterone acetate. In this case, the bitch never received treatment with synthetic progesterone; therefore, the endometrial mineralisation was not due to a long exogenous contraceptive treatment.…”

“…However, endometrial mineralisation is an uncommon uterine lesion which has been only associated with long use of synthetic progesterone contraceptives in bitches. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are only two manuscripts reporting lesions of endometrial mineralisation associated with CEH and pyometra 9 10. In these publications, medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment was given to the bitches during five and eight years, respectively.…”

Granulosa cell tumour is a common ovarian pathology in bitches. Depending on its hormonal production, this tumour often induces persistent oestrus signs and uterine disorders. Chronic treatment with progesterone contraceptives has been associated with endometrial mineralisation in bitches. The authors describe the case of a three-year-old female entire mastiff dog with a one-year history of chronic hyperoestrogenism signs and anorexia. Serum biochemistry and haematology revealed moderate leucocytosis. Abdominal ultrasound showed dilated uterine horns with anechoic fluid in the lumen, small cystic structures, and multiple stippled hyperechoic lesions with mild acoustic shadowing and comet tail artefact along the endometrial wall. Furthermore, cystic structures were observed in the right ovary. After surgery, histopathological study revealed the presence of endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex, endometrial mineralisation and a granulosa cell tumour. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of endometrial mineralisation associated with ovarian granulosa cell tumour in a bitch.

“…Despite information above, DM initiated by insulin resistance and high insulin level in dogs is considered as an uncommon condition. Occasionally, persistent corpus luteal and pseudopregnancy in female dogs generates gestational DM (GDM); furthermore, the extensive use of artificial gestagens such as megestrol provokes DM by vacuoles formation in the β-cells [ 23 ].…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which blood glucose level raises that can result in severe complications. However, the incidence increased mostly by obesity, pregnancy, persistent corpus luteum, and diestrus phase in humans and animals. This review has focused on addressing the possible understanding and pathogenesis of spontaneous DM in canine, feline, and few wild animals. Furthermore, pancreatic associated disorders, diabetic ketoacidosis, hormonal and drug interaction with diabetes, and herbal remedies associated with DM are elucidated. Bibliographic search for the present review was done using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for articles on concurrent DM in small and wild animals. Persistent corpus luteal and pseudopregnancy in female dogs generate gestational DM (GDM). GDM can also be caused by extensive use of drugs/hormones such as glucocorticosteroids. Although many similarities are present between diabetic cats and diabetic humans which present islet amyloidosis, there was a progressive loss of β- and α-cells and the normal number of δ-cells. The most prominent similarity is the occurrence of islet amyloidosis in all cases of diabetic cat and over 90% of human non-insulin dependent DM Type-2. Acute pancreatic necrosis (APN) occurs due to predisposing factors such as insulin antagonism, insulin resistance, alteration in glucose tolerance, obesity, hyperadrenocorticism, and persistent usage of glucocorticoids, as these play a vital role in the progression of APN. To manage such conditions, it is important to deal with the etiological agent, risk factors, diagnosis of diabetes, and hormonal and drug interaction along with its termination with suitable therapy (herbal) protocols. It should be noted that the protocols used for the diagnosis and treatment of human DM are not appropriate for animals. Further investigations regarding diabetic conditions of pets and wild animals are required, which will benefit the health status of all animals health worldwide.
