Dr. Gerson relates one case in which an ultrasound of a jaundiced cat revealed gallstones as the culprit, a condition that is uncommon in dogs and cats.<\/strong><\/address>\n<div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>By Lawrence Gerson, V.M.D.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When presented with an ill animal, veterinarians will start with a history of\u00a0 the problem and will perform a comprehensive physical exam. If the diagnosis is\u00a0 not obvious, we usually rely on diagnostic testing that may include urinalysis,\u00a0 a fecal exam, or blood tests for a complete blood count and a blood chemistry\u00a0 and a thyroid test. X-rays may also be needed.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, additional imaging such as an ultrasound is performed. An\u00a0 ultrasound exam is a noninvasive test that can show the details of body systems\u00a0 with great accuracy. Not only can we see the size and shape of the organs but\u00a0 also the inner structure of most of the abdominal and cardiac structures<\/p>\n<p>Amarillo, a 9-year old gray tabby cat had been losing her appetite over\u00a0 several weeks. Her gastrointestinal tract was upset, and she had not eaten for\u00a0 two days before seeing the veterinarian.<\/p>\n<p>By that time, she had lost a significant 10 percent of her body weight. The\u00a0 veterinarian noticed that her eyes were yellow-tinged, indicating jaundice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A yellow kitty is a very sick kitty,&#8221; the veterinarian said.<\/p>\n<p>Getting an accurate diagnosis of liver malfunction can be a difficult and\u00a0 expensive process. A blood test confirmed that the liver was not working well as\u00a0 the bilirubin level was high. Because her thyroid level was normal, that\u00a0 eliminated thyroid disease as the cause of jaundice.<\/p>\n<p>She was not anemic, which is another cause of jaundice because of the\u00a0 breakdown of red blood cells.<\/p>\n<p>Palpation of the abdomen did not reveal any obvious tumors or other\u00a0 abnormalities, but she was a bit tender about having her abdomen examined.<\/p>\n<p>The veterinarian recommended an abdominal ultrasound. Commonly, humans have\u00a0 diagnostic ultrasounds of their kidneys, liver, gallbladder or urinary bladder.\u00a0 Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves (higher than can be heard by human or\u00a0 even dogs) to look at the organs and tissues of the abdomen and into the chest\u00a0 of animals.<\/p>\n<p>Ultrasound is painless and only requires a shaved stomach and some gel to get\u00a0 a good image. Some veterinarians will ultrasound pets in their offices, while\u00a0 others use the services of a specialist with many years of additional training\u00a0 and experience to view the internal organs.<\/p>\n<p>Amarillo had gallstones. Although not unusual in humans, gallstones are very\u00a0 uncommon in cats and dogs. Additionally, she had stones in her bile duct,\u00a0 causing a blockage of bile flow.<\/p>\n<p>She eventually had surgery to flush out and re-route her gallbladder, and she\u00a0 was back to her adventurous self in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh is fortunate to have numerous specialists who can consult with\u00a0 local veterinarians on difficult cases. Some of these specialists will visit\u00a0 area veterinary hospitals to provide additional expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Additional care is also provided at specialty hospitals, giving veterinarians\u00a0 and pets many options and hope for those complicated cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Lawrence Gerson is a veterinarian and\u00a0 founder of the Point Breeze Veterinary Clinic. This column was co-written by\u00a0 Nathaniel Myers of Pittsburgh Veterinary Internal Medicine. The biweekly column\u00a0 is intended to educate pet owners. Consultation with a veterinarian is necessary\u00a0 to diagnose and treat individual pets.
