Hepatic abscesses are rare and difficult to diagnose in dogs and cats. Ultrasonographic examination is essential to thoroughly examine hepatic abnormalities, and it may also help in the localization of hepatic abscesses. In this retrospective study, five dogs and one cat with focal hepatic lesions compatible with a hepatic abscess were treated with percutaneous ultrasound-assisted drainage and alcoholization using 95% ethanol. The procedure was performed rapidly under injectable anesthesia and provided excellent results in all animals. No complications or relapses were noted for 120 days following the procedure. The technique of percutaneous ultrasound-assisted drainage and alcoholization of hepatic abscesses in the dog and cat is also described.
肝脓肿在犬猫中较为罕见且难以诊断。超声检查对于全面检查肝脏异常至关重要，它也有助于肝脓肿的定位。在这项回顾性研究中，对五只犬和一只猫进行了经皮超声引导下吸脓及用95%乙醇硬化治疗，这些动物的局灶性肝脏病变符合肝脓肿表现。该操作在注射麻醉下迅速完成，所有动物均取得了良好效果。术后120天未发现并发症或复发情况。本文还描述了犬猫肝脓肿经皮超声引导下吸脓及硬化治疗技术。
