Your post DOES NOT mention 1 thing about Scaning Intestinal Tract (Stomach & Small Bowel) not 1 thing, what this post is all about…

Ultra Scan is excellent for Pancreas, Kidney, Urinary Crystals, Heart, Lungs, blockages in “Large Bowel”, Bones etc but when it comes to the stomach & small bowel Ultra scan is NO good, the vet can’t see around corners, vet cant see thru the Pancreas to see into stomach or small bowel, Ultra Scan can see the large bowel pretty good but that’s about it…the dog stomach area is shaved, not allowed to eat & dog is mildly sedated the dog isnt awake..

Ultra Scanning on Stomach & Small Bowel is a waste of money, this money can go towards 2 bisopies thru Endoscope & the vet “WILL” see down thru the Esophagus into stomach & if sphincter flap to small bowel is open the vet can get 1 biopsie from small bowel where I think this dog has all his problems, then vet “Will” get “answers” what is wrong with this dog…
I’ve been thru all this, I think I’d know more about test for Intestinal problems, then some one who always googles all their info….
