Teaching and learning about veterinary diagnostic imaging.
There is a soft tissue mass effect on the caudal abdomen, displacing part of the small intestine cranially. Bladder limits are unclear. The location of this mass would suggest enlarged bladder, but age and history leads to GI problems. I would think of severe torsion/intussusception inflammatory procces of the distal part of small intestine but ultrassound would be required to discard lower urinary tract issues.
