– 10 year old MN miniature poodle presented for 1 weeks duration of vomting, anorexia
– bloodwork moderate elevations ALP and ALT, high end normel bilrubin and bilirubinuria
– ultrasound consistent with pancreatitis, steatitis and abdominal effusion (pain over the pancreas)
– the GB is distended with an inflammatory region around the neck and effusion in the region – there is pain in this region as well
– to me this looks like a mucocele and am concerned about the possibility of bile peritonitis long with pancreatitis
Surgical case?
