- 6 year old 25kg deep chested cross breed with acute and persistent vomting/regurgitation of liquid for over a week
- The stomach was dilated with fluid but had an odd gas pattern and almost appeared compartmentalised
- It was difficult to fan through pylorus but the spleen and duodenum appeared in the correct postion.
- Do you think this is surgical?
- Help please!

Can’t really tell whats going
Can’t really tell whats going on here other than the overdistention. High right intercostal sdep 13 should give the pylorus every time despite whats in the stomach. If not calming with med tx i would explore and may bnneed to tack the stomach as well as explore contents and take bx.
