Most diseases that cause weight gain will lead to other signs, including an increase in thirst and urination or hair loss. <br /><br />In any 11-year old dog, screening with a complete blood count, serum chemistry panel, and urinalysis is a must, even without the weight gain. That would be the first step in determining if anything else is wrong.<br /><br />Is her activity level decreased? If so, your vet should certainly check for arthritis, which is also common in older dogs.Dr. Mark E.

She has had 20lbs wt gain over the past 2 yrs since being rescued, and has a couple subcutaneous palpable nodules. What is the likely DDX, and most prudent recommendation regarding workup, i.e., what should I do on a limited budget, in this older dog, at this point? What should I watch for that would be a worrisome or diagnostically important change or finding?
