Gastric wall thickening

– 10 year old MN Cockapoo with intermittent history v/d – mild weight loss

– hypoalbuminemia of 20 so not at the level for effusion to begin

– US showed muscosal striations in the SI typical of a PLE and primary or secondary lymphangiectasia

– the stomach wall was thickened in the fundus/body region. There is an inflammatory pattern in the fat in the region and mild enlargement of the local (gastric) LN. Pancreas normal.

– pylorus and pyloric outflow normal

– I can see layers so less likely neoplasia

Is this a gastritis pattern or considered gastric wall edema? possiblility of neoplasia?  Where is the submucosal layer?

This dog is not really terrible sick or showing signs of profuse vomiting.

Thanks!
