Description A nine-year-old female Boxer was presented to the Small Animal Medicine outpatient unit of Teaching Veterinary Hospital, Madras Veterinary College with the complaint of weakness and occasional ataxia. The general clinical, physical and neurological examinations were found to be normal except for the history of weakness and ataxia. The complete blood count was normal. Serum biochemistry revealed hypoglycemia and the amended insulin to glucose ratio was 187.4. Abdominal ultrasonography and radiography examination were unrewarding. Contrast CT revealed presence of multiple nodular lesions over the pancreas suggestive of insulinoma. The hypoglycemic episodes were managed with dextrose solution followed by dietary management, prednisolone and octreotide. The animal responded to treatment with an improvement in blood glucose level.
