Two dogs, a 5-year-old neutered male boxer dog and a 2-year-old neutered male Australian cattle dog, were evaluated for vomiting and inappetence. Both dogs were icteric on physical examination, and had hyperbilirubinemia, elevated liver enzymes, and inflammatory changes on diagnostic blood analysis. A proximal duodenal obstruction causing extrahepatic biliary duct obstruction (EHBDO) was suspected in both cases after diagnostic imaging was performed. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed duodenal foreign bodies in both cases. This case report defines duodenal foreign body as a differential diagnosis for EHBDO in dogs.
