biliary cyst adenoma?
14 yr MN DSH recently presented for constipation and lethargy. Lateral radiographs revealed very irregular liver margin and this is what we found on ultrasound.

Suspect feline IBD or lymphoma
Eight year old indoor only DSH with chronic vomiting. Now anorexia and diarrhea. Rounded and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes, so concerned about lymphoma over IBD.
