A nine‐year‐old, intact female dalmatian with diabetes mellitus and a renal abscess is described. The renal abscess was treated surgically by nephrectomy, and the diabetes mellitus resolved with ovariohysterectomy. Abdominal ultrasound and ultrasound‐guided aspiration of the abscess were helpful in establishing a diagnosis. To the authors’knowledge, this is the first report of a renal abscess in a dog with diabetes mellitus.
