– 4 yr old MN Golden Retriever with 3 day history of melena

– owners switched diets in which the melena resolved but now pet is vomting with decreased appetite

– cbc, biochem unremarkable, cPLI negative

– u/s showed concentrically thickened pyloric wall with what appears to be hyperechoic echoes embedded in the wall – ulcers? and mild fluid distension; pet painful when this area was scanned

– I saw no evidence of a FB;duodenum and rest of GI tract normal

– jejunal LN’s look reactive
