Pancreatitis

Sonopath Forum

Hi, this is Chiquita. 

Hi, this is Chiquita. 

  • 8 year old FS min pin with history of seizures
  • chronic pancreatitis and suspect IBD
  • previous mast cell grade II (two separate surgeries both grade II) 
  • been on GI low fat previously, transitions to Hypo HP Royal Canin and did well but recently relapse
  • Severe bloody mucosa sloughing diarrhea, anorexia, vomiting 
  • Amylase elevated and inhouse cPL positive
  • Improved with supportive care

Here are two video clips of the pancreas and I was wondering if this is consistent with pancreatitis or is there a concern of a cystic lesion/mass within the pancreas? I have had some difficulty localizing the pancreas in the past but felt confident this was it (hopefully). 

I also have an lymph node located in the left caudal abdomen that appears enlarged. 

Our current plan is to refer for repeat abdominal U/S and potential sampling of the pancreas and LN. Owners may declined referral and we will sample the pancreas and LN inhouse. 

Current meds are: metronidazole (chronic), famotidine, sucralfate, claritan, keppra and recently added aventiclav to control diarrhea. 

Thanks,

Layne
