-1 year old FS DSH
-Per owner, has lost 50% of her body weight recently (was 15, now ~5). She is thin but not emaciated, not sure how much to believe the 15 pound figure. Not eating. Has vomited ~3 times.
-Elevated amylase, normal globulins. BG ~225. PCV 23%.
-Palpable mass like linear object in cranial abdomen. I think it is the pancreas and surrounding inflammation as there are no foreign bodies or masses present. Stomach and bowel appear normal to me aside from a prominent muscularis layer in pylorus.

-I see signficant peri-pancreatic inflammation, prominent nodes near ICC junction, and small volume pleural effusion. LA:Ao is normal and contractility is subjectively normal.
-I want to make sure I am putting all this information together correctly. I am thinking something infectious such as FIP or toxo or something like pancreatitis/EPI/small intestinal disease. I guess I should keep lymphoma on the list too. Any other thoughts?
Thanks!
