Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! One of the most common causes of an elevated calcium is cancer, more specifically lymphoma and anal sac adenocarcinoma, among others. Other possible non-cancerous diseases that can cause it include hyperparathyroidism and fungal disease. I would encourage you to discuss further diagnostics to find out more about what si going on. This may include abdominal ultrasound, FNA cytology, among others. Treatment depends on findings. Best of luck!
