Animal Health Topic: Gallbladder Mucocele

The gallbladder functions to aid in normal digestion. When the gallbladder abnormally produces thick mucus instead of thin bile, the material accumulates and can become obstructive. Accumulation of this material is termed a gallbladder mucocele. Over time, this can lead to serious illness if left untreated. Certain breeds—especially Shetland Sheepdogs—may be at increased risk.
