Abstract
Disorders of the gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary tract in the dog and cat can easily be confused with other intra-abdominal disorders. This confusion results because many times the clinical course and signs of biliary tract disease are similar to these other intra-abdominal disorders. This review discusses the normal anatomy and physiology of the gallbladder, bile duct, and bile in the dog and cat and then summarizes the historic, physical examination, clinicopathologic, diagnostic, histologic and therapeutic aspects of all the cases of extrahepatic biliary tract disease reported in the veterinary literature.
