Gastric foreign body

  • 12 year old female spayed lab with 2 week history of anorexia and vomiting
  • CBC shows a mild anemia
  • Chemistry profile shows a chronically elevated ALKP (400’s)
  • Primary DVM palpates a possible abdominal mass

    • I am seeing highly echogenic, strongly shadowing material in the stomach and pylorus highly suggestive of a foreign body.  Some of the echogenic density is hard to separate from the mucosal surface of the gastric wall. Just wondering if anyone thinks that there is gastric wall pathology?  Rest of abdomen was essentially normal.
