A 11 year old female spayed Jack Russel Terrier was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis. After successful initial treatment metabolic control deteriorated although insulin dosage was increased. Cushing's syndrome was diagnosed and treatment with Lysodren was started. As a result blood glucose concentrations decreased. The difficulty to diagnose Cushing's syndrome in some diabetic dogs is discussed.
