Ascites

Sonopath Forum

-Middle age female spayed dog

-Presented for vague, non-specific signs including abdominal enlargment

-Very small focal amounts of free fluid located in abdomen, no masses noted aside from focal enlargement of the caudal pole of one adrenal gland.

-Hepatic vasculature and CVC appear prominent to me but I would like to see others’ opinions.  I’m including a clip of the pylorus in which you can compare the vessels.

-The mesentery appears “clumpy” to me but I don’t see distinct nodules.

-Brief view of heart appeared ok, no pericardial effusion, full echo not done.

-Trying to figure out whether to concentrate on abdomen or thorax for cause of clinical signs.

Thanks!

***As I’m reviewing my post, at times I see the wrong still image (from one I posted a long time ago) but I did select the correct image mutliple times.  You should be seeing a view of an adrenal gland (not a hyperechoic lymph node).  Not sure what’s happening but clearly a small techinical glitch.
