Thickend duodenal mucosa

Hello

I was hoping for some advice on “Rock”. A 7 year old Terrier that is exhibiting signs of IBD. We performed an US today and I believe his duodenum has a slightly abnormal appearence. The mucosal looks thickend. It measures 0.43cm (12lbs dog) and there appears to be hyperechoic flecks in the mucosa that do not appear to be related to the lumen. 

I never really noticed it with the convex probe but when I brought out the high resolution probe it seemed abnormal to me so I am not sure if I am making things up or not.

Thanks. Brent
