Emphysematous pyelitis and cystitis associated with vesicoureteral reflux in a diabetic dog. Can Vet J. 2016 Apr;57(4):382-6 Authors: Fabbi M, Manfredi S, Bianchi E, Gnudi G, Miduri F, Volta A Abstract A 12-year-old female dog with a 3-month history of poor response to diabetes treatment had an acute worsening of symptoms, including weakness and blindness. The dog had elevated blood glucose, alkaline phosphatase and urea concentration, hyposthenuria, glycosuria, hematuria, and pyuria. Escherichia coli was isolated from the urine. Radiographs and ultrasound examination showed that the dog had unilateral emphysematous pyelitis and concurrent cystitis associated with vesicoureteral reflux. PMID: 27041755 [PubMed - in process]
