Redbone with regenerative anemia, hypoproteinemia, and enlarged liver
Would love some input on this case. 11 year old FI Redbone presenting for lethargy and decreased appetite. No reported vomiting or diarrhea.

2 year old FI English Bulldog with 3 month history of weight loss – small bowel mucosal changes
Chronic diarrhea with acute onset bloody diarrhea. Blood work unremarkable other than mildly low albumin at 2.4. Cortisol WNL. Primary ultrasound finding were the small bowel changes noted in the attached images. I realized biopsy is the needed, but would you say the images suggest lymphangectasia (mild stippling of mucosal layer)? Possible concurrent inflammatory bowel…
Feline small cell lymphoma in subcutaneous lymph node
I did a staging ultrasound on a 5 year old FS DSH. She had a lump in her caudal mammary region removed that histo showed was a lymph node containing small cell lymphoma.

Referred for an abdominal ultrasound for possible renal dysplasia. rDVM had not run a UA yet, so that is pending, but mild increases in BUN, creat, Phos and SDMA. Kidneys look normal to me other than some mild mineralization at the sinus. I am always nervous about missing renal dysplasia, so would love some conformation…
Renal pathology in a 5 yr old MN DSH
Anorexia and lethargy. Blood work including Felv/FIV WNL. Mesenteric lymph nodes are prominent at 7 mm thick, but still maintaining oblong shape. Spleen has a lumpy ventral capsule. Would you call this a subcapular hypoechoic rim? Lymphoma as most probable given the spleen changes vs. carcinoma? Owner is going to go forward with FNA’s this…
