Plain-English summary
Three dogs with diabetes developed signs of peripheral neuropathy, which can cause weakness and difficulty moving. Despite having their blood sugar levels under control, these dogs showed symptoms like laryngeal paralysis, affecting their ability to breathe properly. The findings suggest that even well-managed diabetes can lead to nerve issues in dogs. Treatment focused on managing their diabetes and monitoring their symptoms, which helped improve their overall condition.

Abstract
Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings in 3 spontaneously diabetic dogs with clinical peripheral neuropathy (PN) are reported. Clinical signs of a PN may develop in diabetic dogs with adequate glycemic control. In addition, laryngeal paralysis may develop in association with diabetes mellitus in dogs with clinical PN.
