Abnormal kidneys

  • 7 year old Shetland Sheepdog with iris stage 2 CKD on bloods, usg 1.010
  • Both kidneys have cysts and mineralisation but I am not sure what the hypoechoic rim around cortex is, I have never seen this in a dog
  • If it was a cat I would think lymphoma but history and clinical findings fit with CKD and kidneys are not enlarged
  • Help please!
