15 month old MN, feline (Domestic Longhair) presenting with reduced appetite and vomiting.
Findings:
- The stomach is distended with anechoic fluid. Stomach wall is unremarkable.
- The duodenum is distended with anechoic fluid. There is altered wall layering noted in the duodenum, though the duodenum is normal in size measuring approximately 0.25 cm in thickness.
- Multiple jejunal segments are also distended with anechoic fluid though normal in size. In the mid jejunum, there is a circular anechoic structure that has a hyperechoic rim noted in one of the jejunal segments causing significant luminal expansion.
Conclusions:
Small intestinal obstructive foreign body. Surgical exploration could be considered at this time.
