This paper describes the results of a retrospective survey of 43 cases of canine diabetes mellitus. The epidemiological data were in general agreement with previous surveys. Blood glucose, serum alkaline phosphatase, serum alanine aminotransferase, blood urea and serum cholesterol levels measured before starting treatment were found to be of limited value in forming a pre‐treatment prognosis, although markedly raised values were a poor prognostic sign.
