My ex-intern refers this case to Toa Payoh Vets.  8-year-old poodle urinates a lot in the past 2 months. 

I palpated an enlarged liver or spleen (anterior ventral swelling) the size of a golf ball.  X-rays confirm liver enlargement but spleen was OK.  Blood test showed high liver enzymes. 
Ultrasound in this video shows both adrenal glands are enlarged and have nodules. These enlarged adrenals cause increase in cortisol and hence increased thirst, hunger and urination in the past 2 months. 

More investigation is in progress
