– pain noted when scanning right pancreatic limb

– duodenum spastic with some effusion noted in the area (see clip)

– left limb pancreas scanning into the body appears to be hypoehoic with mild peripancreatic inflammtion?

Since cPLI is normal, I am not convinced this is pancreatitis. Also no v/d but the ultrasound is suspicious or maybe not? What do you think? Could I be missing something?

Started pet on IV fluids, ampicillin, enrofloxacin and buprenorphine. Second day into treatment she has perked up but fever is staying elevated (waxes and wanes between 39.2-40 C) Fed a small amount of low fat canned diet which she ate well and kept down.
