Abstract

Three cases of extrahepatic bile duct disorder were presented. Two cases, a dog and a cat, were related to the obstruction of the extrhepatic bile duct, the other dog was affected with the gall bladder rupture. The clinical signs included anorexia, abdominal distension and vomiting. The laboratory test represented increased hepatic enzymes. On the radiography, hepatomegaly was seen in the obstructive cases, and ascites could be seen in the ruptured case. On the Ultrasonography, dilated gall bladder and extrahepatic bile duct were found in the obstructive cases, and there were ascites, indistinct gall bladder wall, dilation of gall bladder and extrabiliary tract, increased mesenteric echogenicity in the ruptured case. All presented were taken medication, surgical foreign material removal, or cholecystectomy showed complete recovery.
