title: Obstructive cholelithiasis and cholecystitis in a keeshond.
abstract: A 10-year-old, neutered male, keeshond was presented for vomiting, lethargy, icterus, and anorexia. Obstructive cholelithiasis was diagnosed based on analysis of a serum biochemical profile, abdominal radiographs, and ultrasonography. Choleliths were removed from the gall bladder and common bile duct via a cholecystotomy.
