An 8-year-old FS German Shepherd mixed breed dog with history of polyuria and polydypsia was presented for urinary incontinence. The only pertinent finding on physical examination was a slightly tense abdomen on palpation. The only abnormality on urinalysis was isosthenuria. Abnormalities on CBC and blood chemistry were thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, elevated ALT, ALP, and triglycerides. T4 and free T4 were both low. Low dose Dexamethasone test showed a pre-cortisol of 2.1 ug/dl, 4hr post-cortisol of 2.5, and an 8 hrs post-cortisol of 2.8.
