– u/s suspicious for a gastric FB and gastritis pattern; reactive jejnual LN’s – rest of scan normal

– the patient did eat the morning of the scan so I have suggested a 12 hour fast and repeat scan. If lesion still present then recommend gastrotomy and exploratory to inspect the rest of GI tract and biopsy the stomach, SI and jejunal LN’s to rule out underlying GI disease

Am I crazy, or does this look like a gastric FB? I was really expecting to find something like a splenic mass in this patient, so was kind of surprised with the stomach lesion but history would fit with a chronic gastric FB. The pet has not been on oral meds.
