Severe hypophosphataemia was found in 6 diabetic dogs and in one diabetic cat. The cat suffered from haemolysis, and one dog had seizures, both apparently as a result of the severe hypophosphataemia. Clinical signs were not determined solely by the serum concentrations of phosphorus, as seen in 5 other patients that did not have signs of disease despite similar serum phosphorus concentrations.
