Frequently Asked Questions
What causes elevated calcium in dogs?
Calcium is a very important mineral, found in minute levels throughout the body. It is involved in numerous important bodily functions. Elevated calcium is often referred to as "hypercalcaemia," and in some cases can indicate an underlying health problem in your pet. Some possible causes for hypercalcaemia in your pet include:
- Kidney disease
- Parathyroid gland tumour
- Adrenal disease (hypoadrenocorticism, or Addisons disease)
- Certain types of neoplasia (cancer)
- Diet and dehydration
In most cases, if a pet has an elevated total calcium level detected on a blood test, further diagnostic tests will be required to investigate the problem. This result alone is not definitive for any specific disease process but may be enough indication for your veterinarian to look further. This may involve further blood tests such as ionised blood calcium and sometimes imaging.
