Dr. Becker on Symptoms and Causes of Cholangiohepatitis

Cholangiohepatitis is a word that describes inflammation of the liver and bile ducts. This condition is seen less often in dogs than cats, and is a common cause of feline liver disease, especially in the Himalayan, Persian, and Siamese breeds.

Most cholangiohepatitis patients also have at least one concurrent disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease or pancreatitis.

Symptoms of cholangiohepatitis depend on the form it takes, and include fever, a swollen and painful abdomen, dehydration, lack of energy and appetite, and intermittent vomiting.

Treatment of this disease depends on its cause. In most cases, drugs called choleretics are given to thin the bile so it can flow more easily out of the gallbladder.

Integrative veterinarians use a variety of effective supportive therapies for cholangiohepatitis.
