Abstract
Cholecystitis is one of the biliary tract
diseases in dogs and is frequently
accompanied by varying degrees of
cholangitis and cholangiohepatitis (Harari et
al., 1982). The cause is poorly understood
but bacteria are considered to play a role.
Anatomic malformations of gall bladder, biliary
obstruction, choleliths and biliary surgery
might predispose patients to biliary infection
(Bless. 1983). Ultrasonographic evaluation
of cholecystitis in a dog has been presented.
