A 12 year old NM Yorkshire Terrier dog with a history of elevated ALP activity, elevated cholesterol, elevated BUN, and elevated BUN/creatinine ratio was presented. Abnormalities on physical examination were hair loss on the lower back, joint disease, cyst on top of the head, and a mass on the right side of the hock. The only significant finding on urinalysis was microalbuminuria. Serum biochemistry showed elevated ALP activity, hyperglobulinemia, hypercholesterolemia, and elevated BUN and elevated BUN/Creatinine ratio. On ACTH stimulation, the post sample showed hypercortisolemia.
