ABSTRACT
The presented case report describes diagnostic and therapy of a liver abscess in a male Golden Retriever dog. The dog was adversely affected by fever, apathy, and vomitus. Diagnostic imaging including radiography, sonography and computed tomography, revealed an abscess-forming lesion of 10 × 5 cm in the left middle liver lobe with detectable multiple gas accumulation within the lesion. The surgical therapy included lobectomy with adjacent omentopexy. Four days after the operation the dog was discharged in a good general condition and with physiological body temperature. Detecting multiple gas accumulation in circular, inhomogeneous lesions by sonography allowed confirmation of the diagnosis. Surgical removal of the affected liver lobe led to recovery of the patient. In human medicine, less invasive methods are preferred, e.g. percutaneous drainage and alcoholization of the lesion. Exclusive medicamentous therapy yields the worst outcome in humans.
