https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/8889/canine-hypercalcaemia Help appreciated I have an 8 year old dog diagnosed with a anal gland adenocarcinoma, the clients are declining surgery, is there anything that can be given to reduce the calcium levels? I don&#39;t really want to hospitalise and drip the dog if possibleen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/42327?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 30 Jul 2011 21:46:42 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c414d94e-dbac-4315-92be-cec6c0217805Tony Knapp<p>thank you, dog is not doing well, PTS next week!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/42100?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:57:45 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:89486c72-e008-4bdc-a5ae-2e8eafe77951Richard Fox<p>Prognostically, dogs with hypercalcaemia carry the worst prognosis as these are animals with the shortest survival time - Sorry to say and I expect it has metastasised already - probably sub-clinical - Usually to sublumbar lnn first <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/42093?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jul 2011 16:31:37 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3c5e2913-6643-452c-acd6-20e1de0e4a41Stephen Courtney<p>Don&#39;t forget pain relief - my last case I gave tramadol as I was uneasy about giving nsaids together with frusemide for a prolonged period. The dog lasted several months (one month longer than i was comfortable with, i think the owner lost the plot at the end....)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/42087?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:39:09 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2a1b6917-b1e3-4308-888c-7e0fa12893acClaire Godfrey<p>It is&nbsp;a staffy cross, does not appear to have metastasied yet. Thanks for advice, will try both but if dog is not improving will be PTS shortly</p> <p>claire</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/42081?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:57:05 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:34e111a9-5327-4ccd-982d-623afcab7ee9Kate Richardson<p>Frusemide and/or corticosteroids would be the simplest choice. Other meds eg calcitonin , sodium bicarbonate would require hospitalisation. </p> <p>Has it metastasised to sub lumber nodes yet? </p> <p>Is it a Cocker Spaniel by chance?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
