Original publication title: Obstructive cholelithiasis and cholecystitis in a keeshond.
Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old neutered male Keeshond was brought to the vet because he was vomiting, lethargic, had yellowing of the skin and eyes (icterus), and wasn't eating. The vet diagnosed him with obstructive cholelithiasis, which means he had gallstones blocking his bile duct. To treat this, the vet performed surgery to remove the gallstones from his gall bladder and bile duct. After the procedure, the dog was expected to recover and feel better.

Abstract
A 10-year-old, neutered male, keeshond was presented for vomiting, lethargy, icterus, and anorexia. Obstructive cholelithiasis was diagnosed based on analysis of a serum biochemical profile, abdominal radiographs, and ultrasonography. Choleliths were removed from the gall bladder and common bile duct via a cholecystotomy.
