Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old male Siberian husky was brought to the vet after vomiting and being unusually tired for a day. The vet diagnosed him with emphysematous cholecystitis, a serious condition involving gas in the gallbladder. They used X-rays, a special imaging test with barium, and an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment involved both medical care and surgery to address the issue.
