Clinical examination revealed poor body condition, growth retardation, pale oral mucous membranes, weak pulse, and prolonged capillary refill time. Laboratory findings included neutrophilic leukocytosis with a regenerative left shift, fasting hyperglycemia, elevated fructosamine, glycated hemoglobin, and \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate concentrations, while the acid\u2013base balance remained normal. Canine-specific pancreatic lipase and trypsin-like immunoreactivity concentrations ruled out an underlying pancreatitis or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, respectively. Urinalysis showed glycosuria and ketonuria. Supportive care included antibiotics and regular insulin administration. Abdominal ultrasonography identified a pancreatic cavity with a thick wall and mixed echogenic fluid. Ultrasound-guided drainage was performed without complications. Cytology confirmed a pancreatic abscess with pyogranulomatous inflammation, though the culture results were negative. The dog was discharged with intermediate-acting lente insulin. Follow-up ultrasonographic evaluations at 7, 14, and 21 days and 5 months post-drainage showed no recurrence. The diabetes remained well-controlled one year post-discharge. This case report describes the successful management of a dog with juvenile diabetes mellitus complicated by a pancreatic abscess, highlighting the effectiveness of percutaneous ultrasound-guided drainage combined with medical therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci12070604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,20]],"date-time":"2025-06-20T08:13:56Z","timestamp":1750407236000},"page":"604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Successful Management of a Pancreatic Abscess in a Dog with Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus Through Ultrasound-Guided Drainage and Medical Therapy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Daravigka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Companion Animal Clinic (Medicine Unit), School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefanos","family":"Ninis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Companion Animal Clinic (Medicine Unit), School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1091-0479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Bourdekas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, 54454 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0445-2229","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandros O.","family":"Konstantinidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Companion Animal Clinic (Medicine Unit), School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Argyrios","family":"Ginoudis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic Laboratory, School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katerina K.","family":"Adamama-Moraitou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Companion Animal Clinic (Medicine Unit), School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3566-1477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Lyraki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plakentia Veterinary Clinic, 15343 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nektarios","family":"Soubasis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Companion Animal Clinic (Medicine Unit), School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"621","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6109(16)40337-3","article-title":"Inflammatory Masses Following Acute Pancreatitis: Phlegmon, Pseudocyst, and Abscess","volume":"54","author":"Warshaw","year":"1974","journal-title":"Surg.
