This is Decker a 7 year old Beagle that presented recumbant. Slightly anemic and hypoproteinic with rest of blood being normal. Xrays showed poor serosal detail. US showed moderate fluid present. The fluid sample is the color of frank blood but no obvious source of bleeding could be identified. Sample does not clot.

The only other abnormality on US was a thickened GB wall that may be enhanced by the fluid. I am posting because previously someone indicated that a thickened GB wall could be a sign of a cuterbra and …..they were right. That was the only abnormal US finding for a very sick Shi Tzu and the Cuterbra eventually showed itself. I know this isn’t a cuterebra but I was wondering if any such “Pearl” exists for thickened GB wall with hemoabdomen. (Eyes are the windows to the soul”) I’m wondering if something similar exists for the GB. Currently running Coag to rule out clotting issues or rodenticide.

Thanks. Brent
