Abstract

<p>Type I diabetes mellitus (DM) can occur genetically in Djungarian and Chinese hamsters. Type II DM can result from an unhealthy lifestyle, as seen in humans. As insulin administration is difficult in hamsters, the main therapeutic goal is to support polydipsia and to prevent reduction in the immune system function, in addition to diet alterations in type II DM. In the present case, diabetes was diagnosed from sugar in the urine and clinical signs, including polyuria. Treatment with a butyric acid bacterial solution was effective, resulting in an improvement in polyuria and polydipsia.</p>
