Association of gallbladder mucocele histologic diagnosis with selected drug use in dogs

Gallbladder mucocele (GBM) formation is a unique and emergent disease syndrome of dogs characterized by an insidious accumulation of thick, immobile, and viscous bile and mucus within the gallbladder. The syndrome was reported as a rare postmortem finding before 10 years ago and has emerged as one of the most commonly recognized causes of gallbladder disease in the dog. The extent to which diagnosis of GBM formation can be attributed to increased use of abdominal ultrasonography in dogs is unknown.
