hi again,

I would like your opinion on this. Ashley is a 5months old, underdeveloped, copper-eyed, persian kitten, MI, who was presented for signs of HE and actually responded fairly well to metronidazole and lactulose. I scanned him and found what I believe are 2  9or in some videos may be 3) shunting vessels from PV to CVC. i could see turbulence at the CVC entry and portal vein appeared smaller on the proximal aspect. I have not recorded CVC nor PV flow profiles (PW doppler). Do you agree with this findings?.

Also, there appears to be generally prominent LNs in mesentery-Small intestine. I recall Pankatz (I think) mentioning that she finds prominent mesenteric LNs in very young patients and I seem to find this as well. How true can this be? Should I give more importance to this finding in this patient?. Thanks for any input.
