Pyloric hypertrophy?
Hello, I’m trying to understand what’s going on on this 8 year old Schnauzer M/N ( beside the pancreatitis). He came in with acute episode of vomiting. Bloodwork supports pancreatitis.

I think the icterus is pre-hepatic (liver has no lesions except moderatelly hypoechoic, GB, CBD normal) and suspect Mycoplasma Felis or Lymphoma.

Sounder is an 11 year old F/S Border collie that came for ADR. Bloodwork normal except azotemia ( suspect prerenal) X-rays showed splenic mass effect.

Adrenal tumor ( Pheocromocytoma?)
Found this left adrenal tumor ( originating from cranial pole). Was afraid to poke it. Does it resemble Pheo? RDVM didn’t check the BP. On exam was 175-Systolic. If Phecromocytoma can bleed and cause arhytmia, right? If sx not an option would Mitotane be an alternative or to extensive to respond?The right Adr was normal….
