Seems like only yesterday I was posting and crying about Charlotte who was diagnosed with either IBD or lymphoma. We said goodbye to her in July. Now the fates have seen fit to visit a similar ailment on 12 1/2 year old Bess. She is losing weight rapidly and her appetite is iffy at best and nonexistent at worst. Visit to regular vet showed anemia, visit to ER vet yesterday for an ultrasound resulted in this: ULTRASONOGRAPHIC FINDING: # of Films: Written: 10/30/2013 Liver The liver appeared diffusely normal; the liver margins were smooth. Gallbladder The gall bladder appeared normal-the visible biliary tree is not dilated. Spleen The spleen appeared normal. Right Kidney The right kidney had good corticomedullary distinction; Smooth capsule; there were no nephroliths and the renal pelvis was not dilated. The right kidney measured:7.3 cm Left Kidney The left kidney had good corticomedullary distinction, Smooth capsule; there were no nephroliths and the renal pelvis was not dilated. The left kidney measured:6.12 cm Urinary Bladder The urinary bladder appeared normal; no urolith or masses seen. Right Adrenal The right adrenal was normal size and shape measuring:0.55 cm Left Adrenal The left adrenal-caudal pole-wider then normal but normal shape ;measured 1.3 cm Stomach The stomach appeared normal. Small Intestines There as a focal intestinal mass lesion obliterating the normal layers; measured 1.11 cm in wall thickness; surrounding mesentery appeared hyperechoic; small traces of free fluid in the area. Colon The colon appeared normal. Pancreas The pancreatic region appeared normal. Lymph Nodes There was no obvious mesenteric or sublumbar lymphadenopathy. Any interpretations appreciated. We are not going for a surgical biopsy. Even if we wanted to we have been told the anemia would retard healing. Right now our goal is comfort and love. Thanks.
