-11 year old neutered male Dachshund, evaluated for PU/PD
-right adrenal mass, non-specific focal abdominal inflammation near pancreas (but pancreas looked fine), and bilateral pyelectasia noted
-Incidental finding of this area in the attached images at the pylorus, what is it?
-Pet went to an internist and was scanned again, they did not see a gastric abnormality. Do you?
Thanks!

I tried Doppler but there was too much motion to convince me either way. Likely luminal but just looked weird. Thanks!

It does look like a carrot. Funny I also thought he swallowed a mucocele :).
Probably gone by the time the internest did the ultrasound.
