Use this cаse study tо аnswer the fоllоwing questions: Muttley, а 12‐year‐old K‐9, comes in to your clinic for a yearly exam. His owners have just moved from Texas to your state. As the veterinary technician, you are the first into the exam room to perform the TPR(W) and to speak with the owner about their visit today. Muttley appears BAR and his TPR is normal. His DOB is May 5, 2000. The owner, Mrs. Nethery, mentions that Muttley was seen by a different veterinarian a few months ago because he was limping. After obtaining a PPH, the owner gives you the copies ofMuttley’s records and radiographs from the previous clinic. According to Muttley’s records, he was previously diagnosed with cardiopathy, arthritis, and hepatitis. The veterinarian, Dr. Rojas, enters the exam room to perform the P/E. He immediately notices that Muttley has dermatitis on his abdomen. Dr. Rojasdecides to perform a cytology on the affected area of skin. The skin scrape shows NSF. While speaking to Mrs. Nethery, the doctor feels a mass in the hypogastric region. After discussing the options, Mrs. Nethery agrees to let Dr. Rojas obtain a gastric biopsy the following day. The following day, Muttley checks in for surgery and has a pre‐surgical hematology panel done. His erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes are WNL. Hepatic enzymes are slightly elevated, but Dr. Rojas isn’t too concerned about it. An electrocardiogram isalso done because Muttley was previously diagnosed with a cardiopathy. The results were unremarkable. He’s taken to the OR where an incision is made into the abdomen and the mass is excised. Dr. Rojas asks you to send the mass to a reference lab for a biopsy. Muttley is sent to the ICU for recovery after surgery because of his age. The recovery goes well and Muttley is sent home. You tell Mrs. Nethery that the biopsy results will be back in three to five working days. After a week has passed, Mrs. Nethery has returned with Muttley for a post‐surgical exam. Muttley’s incision is healing nicely. Dr. Rojas explains that the mass was a carcinoma. Hisprognosis is guarded. Question: Which organ had elevated enzymes on Muttley's hematology panel?
