Especially in a dog that has already had pancreatitis, the smallest dietary mishap can throw them off again.
In the meantime, do your home work now and research Cushing's Disease. Since you already have the ultrasound showing enlarged adrenal glands, its a very good chance the tests will come back positive but you need some blood tests to confirm it. If you search this group you'll find a lot of information on managing the disease, as I know there are others here that have dealt with it.

Thank you Diane it is so overwhelming. The ultrasound opened up so many things it's crazy. She is finally home today
looking normal. They say she has nerve damage from a stroke due to Cushing Disease
that's why her left side droops and her eye will not close nor blink. My vet said he did not know why it happened that it happens to older dogs
she has HTN and so many other little things. Makes me think her time is nearing
I will read up on these diseases for sure. As soon as this Pancreatitis is calm I will get the test for Cushing disease. Thank you again
