Abstract
A 10-year-old intact female Miniature Schnauzer dog was referred with the primary complaint of persistent anorexia, remittent fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. Hemogram suggested a chronic inflammatory disease. Serum biochemistry showed moderate hepatobiliary cellular damage with severe cholestasis. Abdominal radiography and ultrasonography revealed hepatomegaly, choleliths and sludges in gall bladder and small stones in urinary bladder. Based on diagnostic findings, the case was diagnosed as cholelithiasis complicated with biliary sludge and urolithiais. Using cholecystectomy and cystectomy, choleliths and uroliths were removed from gall bladder and urinary bladder, respectively. The clinical condition was dramatically improved after surgery.
