Abnormal vessel cat abdomen

Abnormal vessel cat abdomen

  • 9+ year old lean cat with inappetance, T4 60+, Sg 1.030 SDMA normal but kidneys look like CKD on bloods
  • Normal liver enzymes and protein 
  • Possible apathetic hyperthyroidism
  • I was concerned with a tortuous vessel by pancreas, is this a shunt?
  • Sorry for all the videos

Good question but no shunt.

Good question but no shunt. Sometimes the PV does this especially with diffuse liver disease (not the case here) and in older cats and dogs. No shunt because you can follow the PV to its branching readily and the pv cvc ratio is 1:1 at the level of branching. You will get this too when a patient is on fluids/overcirculation.
