  • Title: Cholelithiasis in a cat.
    Author: Heidner GL, Campbell KL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Jan 15; 186(2):176-7. PubMed ID: 3972677.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old cat was examined because of anorexia and lethargy. The cat became icteric within 3 days of admission. Values for aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and cholesterol were higher than normal. Radiography revealed hepatomegaly, with loss of detail in the cranioventral portion of the abdomen. Further diagnostic procedures were not permitted, and the cat was euthanatized. At necropsy, cholecystitis, cholangitis, and numerous choleliths were found. Cholelithiasis is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice in the cat.
