  • marked weight loss, intermittent vomiting, eating, no diarrhea, PLAYFUL
  • T bili 12, mild elevations of liver enzymes
What is going on in this cat’s gallbladder?
Owner reluctant to pursue surgery unless prognosis likely to be fair to good.
Just never seen anything like this before in a cat’s GB…

Wow cool alient in that GB.
Wow cool alient in that GB. This is likely a chronic cholecystitis and certainly worthy of causing “ADR” signs. I would leave it open for potential cholangiocarcinoma or similar owing to the polypoid change and the weight loss. Any chance you have a video clip to upload (icon at top far right video press, the login is sonoforum sonoforum2011. You only have to do this once). If the cbd and duodenal papilla are ok and this is just GB than liver is clean then i would remove it. Just a note though on bile duct carcinomas in cats that the mets in the liver can be very isoechoic and hard to pick up so always leave the back door open for non visible mets in biliary neoplasia in cats. Doubt this is the case here though. chronic inflammatory likely. Out with the GB!:)
