- 11 year old mn Wheaton Terrier presented for acute onset lethargy and anorexia.
- Bloodwork shows a leukopenia with normal RBC count, Total Bilirubin=3.9, and slightly elevated ALT
- Abdominal US shows a 5.0cm segment of small intestine in the left midabdomen with adjacent reactive fat and a 1.5cm hypoechoic lesion in the gastric wall with echogenic borders. The liver and gallbladder both appeared normal. There is no evidence of any GI obstruction or extrahepatic biliary obstruction.

- What are your thoughts on this gastric wall lesion? My differential list includes benign tumor, ulcer, neoplasia (LSA), and less likely artifact (kibble).
