Abstract
When confronted with a diabetic cat in clinical practice, it is tempting to assume it has a form of diabetes mellitus akin to human type 2 diabetes mellitus (diabetes). For most diabetic cats examined, this will indeed be justified. Nevertheless, a significant proportion have other specific types of diabetes with distinctly different etiologies. This article discusses the concept of other specific types of feline diabetes caused by endocrinopathies, and more specifically feline hypersomatotropism, acromegaly, and hyperadrenocorticism, including relevance, presentation, diagnosis, and therapy.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
