A 7-year-old ovariohysterectomized cat had frequent vomiting, anorexia, and choleliths found throughout the gall bladder up to the common bile duct in several clinical examinations. A complex of incomplete obstruction of the common bile duct, juandice due to cholangiohepatitis, and pancreatitis were seen. On the third day of treatment, surgery was performed to decompress the bile duct. Since choleliths inside the distended common bile duct could not be cleared completely by cannulation from the bile duct and duodenum, cholecystotomy and choledochoduodenostomy were performed in succession. Jaundice, hepatic disorders, pancreatitis, and the general condition were improved during the postoperative course. At present, the cat is clinically well.
