• jessies_mom Posted : 5/14/2011 6:01:10 PM  I posted in your thread in the nutrition section, but you didn't mention high blood pressure in that thread. It's rare in dogs but can be caused by kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, Cushing's, and a tumor of the adrenal gland. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 5/14/2011 11:57:20 PM Jessies_Mom is right -- that stumped me too.  High cholesterol doesn't equate to high blood pressure.  In humans it can contribute to high blood pressure (and even then they aren't necessarily going to go together -- high blood pressure is called hypertension.  Cholesterol is the stuff in humans that clogs the arteries/veins. Many vets don't even have a blood pressure cuff for a dog -- if your vet DID take your dog's blood pressure and it was high then you've definitely got a problem that needs to be addressed right away. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
