The diagnosis is dificult because the clinical signs as clinicopatological abnormalities are inespecifics, so the ultrasonography is a important method of diagnosis, because the visualization of thickeny of the gall-bladder’s wall or hiperecogenic bile induce to suspect cholecystitis. The bile culture and antibiograma permit to define the specific antibiotic treatment. A clinic case is described to emphasize the importance of ultrasonography in the canine cholecystitis diagnosis.
