My dog has incontinence, high calcium, and an enlarged adrenal. What's wrong?

Question

My dog, who is six years old, has out of the blue started having urinary incontinence. After taking her to the vet and having numerous tests done the only issue they found was high calcium levels. We then had a scan done where they saw that her right adrenal gland is bigger than the left. They have no definite reason though. Do you have any idea what this could be? She is starting to not have as much energy as she used to and I'm getting more worried the longer this goes on (it's been a month.). Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 3 months old | 48 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The enlarged adrenal gland can be due to something called Cushings disease which can cause her to drink more and urinate more. The elevated calcium could be a number of things but usually it is due to cancer such as lymphoma, among other possibilities such as a fungal infection. I recommend that you check back in with your veterinarian so this can be properly diagnosed and treated. Best of luck!
