Abstract
Canine Liver Disorders are one of the major challenges in small animal practice. While
hepatic parenchymal diseases are common, disorders of gall bladder and biliary tree are
uncommon in dogs. A rare case of cholecystolithiasis in a Labrador dog and its clinical
presentation and outcome was recorded. Abdominal ultrasonographic examination of the
dog documented a normal liver and kidney architecture; however in the gall bladder, there
was a hyper echoic mass with sludge measuring around two centimeter in diameter, confirmed
the presence of Cholecystolith.
