Author(s): Omer Khalil, Abhilash Jadhao and Kuldip Gupta
Abstract: A two-years-old male Labrador dog was presented to the Small Animal Multispecialty Hospital of the Department of Teaching Veterinary Clinic Complex, GADVASU, Ludhiana with a history of inappetance, vomition, lethargy and passing of dark colour urine. Physical examination revealed oedema of ventral abdomen. Blood smear examination showed mild anaemia, along with neutrophilic leucocytosis and mild left shift, whereas, serum chemistry analysis revealed high AST, ALT and ALKP level. On ultrasound examination, irregular margins along with multiple hypoechoic areas and hyperechoic liver parenchyma were observed. Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology from liver revealed presence of epithelial cells in clusters showing high cellularity with coarse chromatin and prominent nucleoli, whereas, ultrasound guided biopsy was suggestive of cholangiocarcinoma.
