|
| Cholangiohepatitis in dogs is rare and is associated with ascending biliary tract infections ( Salmonella , Campylobacter jejuni ), choleliths, coccidiosis, and surgery of the biliary tract. Clinical signs include anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, polyuria, polydipsia, fever, and abdominal pain. Laboratory abnormalities are typical for cholestasis and include hyperbilirubinemia, and elevated AP and GGT. Histopathologic changes include a suppurative or mononuclear infiltrate; samples should be submitted for aerobic and anaerobic culture and sensitivity. Antibiotics and treatment for specific underlying diseases are recommended. |
