hello,
Blue is a 9 years old Malee rottweiler that was vomiting multiple times for the last 24 hours. ||bloodwork was showing mild established inflamation, chemistry was normal. On the left lateral there is radiopaque material and focal US confirm it. Would you sgo directly to scope this dog or treat conservativelly and recheck x-rays ? On brief,focal US the pyloric duodenal junct seems normal but there is something shadowing in the stomach?
Thank you,
calin
