-6 month old kitten with acute severe vomiting even when treated with cerenia
-bloodwork normal
-U/S normal except for prominent colic nodes and nodule in area of the body of the pancreas.
I am assuming the lesion in the body of the pancreas that is surounded by the hyperechoic mesentery is likely causing the clinical signs. After doing the ultrasound, I am not suspicious of a foreign body anywhere else in the GI tract. What differentials should I consider?
Thanks!

Mesenteric lymphadenopathy
Mesenteric lymphadenopathy with regional fatty inflammation… no loss of LN structure so likely reactive… “IBD” minor potential for emerging lsa mct dry fip. ABs (zithromax) and pred usually resolve this and fna the LN if not resolving.
