Question 1
A 6-year-old Golden Retriever is presented with lethargy, polyuria, and polydipsia. A complete blood count (CBC) and serum chemistry panel are performed. The CBC is unremarkable. The chemistry panel reveals a blood glucose of 450 mg/dL (normal: 75-120 mg/dL) and elevated liver enzymes. A urinalysis shows 4+ glucosuria and 2+ ketonuria. Which of the following is the most likely pathologic process responsible for these findings?
Correct Answer:
Immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells
Question 2
A biopsy from a skin mass on an 8-year-old Boxer is submitted for histopathology. The pathologist describes 'sheets of round cells with distinct cell borders, abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, and central, round nuclei.' There is minimal pleomorphism and a low mitotic rate. Mast cell granules are not observed with routine H&E staining but would likely be prominent with which special stain?
Correct Answer:
Toluidine Blue

Correct Answer:
Polioencephalomalacia
