  • What causes high blood calcium in dogs? Lymphoma (lymphatic cancer) is probably by far the most common cause of elevated calcium in dogs. Parathyroid gland tumor secreting PTH. Kidney failure (altering the calcium and phosphorus balance). It should be noted that kidney failure causes hypercalcemia, and hypercalcemia causes kidney failure.

High calcium levels may signal the presence of serious underlying disease including kidney failure, adrenal gland failure (called Addison's disease), a parathyroid gland tumor, and some types of cancer.

In some pets, prolonged hypercalcemia may contribute to formation of bladder or kidney stones.
