Dr. Zwingenberger at Veterinary Radiology blog offers some preliminary findings about the “ultrasonographic signs of Aminopterin in dogs and cats.”
Update: From this Washington Post story:
At Suburban Animal Hospital in Arlington County, veterinarian Gary Schrader said that after learning rat poison could have sickened pets, he reexamined the ultrasounds of four cats brought in with renal failure in recent days. The records on all four showed a strange brightness around the kidney — usually an indication of poisoning, Schrader said.

Just wanted to point out there a link to info from VIN on the ultrasound site. It deserves a separate listing on your site and is exactly the kind of info I was talking about that vets AND clients need. I thank the vets at VIN who stayed up all night.

Thank you thank you, am not trying to be crabby, but I have dial-up and a slow computer and it’s been all I can do to keep up with the various sources and keep checking the news for the very latest info. My main objective is to get medical info out to everyone I can.
I thank you for your hard work.
My dogs officially hate me because they went nowhere yesterday – leaving now!
