Bile peritonitis associated with gastric dilation-volvulus in a dog (original) (raw)

2005, The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue vétérinaire canadienne

Abstract

This report describes a case of septic peritonitis and gall bladder rupture in German shepherd dog that developed 7 d after surgical treatment for gastric dilation-volvulus. Histological examination confirmed gall bladder necrosis, secondary to an acute ischemic event. Postoperative acute necrotizing cholecystitis has not been a previously reported complication in dogs.
