Abstract
A 6-year-old, intact female mixed dog was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Gyeongsang National University due to vomiting, anorexia, depression of 1 month's duration. On abdominal radiography, numerous irregularly marginated mineralized branching structures were present within the liver. On ultrasonography, irregular hyperechoic spots with an strong acoustic shadow was identified, but evidence of ductal dilatation was absent. Based on radiography and ultrasonography, intrahepatic gallstones were diagnosed incidentally.
