Cushings testing warranted?

–  12 year old Miniature Schnauzer

–  Labs done because dog has increased it’s water consumption noticabley. ALP 433 U/L, ALT 227 U/L, Glucose 198 but nomral Fructosamine, USG 1.024

–  Ultrasound revealed liver nodules (FNA’s – vacuolar hepatopathy), one lymph node enlarged near kidney (FNA – mild lymphoid hyperplasia), and adrenals measuring: R = 2.65 x .55 and .61cm, L = 1.92 x 0.65 and 0.52 cm

Question:  Is it indicated to test for Cushings with adrenals this size and these labs?

Thanks
