It is hypothesized that biliary stasis and hypersecretion play a role in both BS and gallbladder mucocele (GBM) formation. Recent studies have documented similarities in composition of BS and GBM, and there are several examples of progression from BS to GBM in the veterinary literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess the relationship between the presence of BS and later development of GBM in dogs, over time periods &amp;gt;12\u2009months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Animals<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 154 dogs with BS and ultrasonographic follow-up &amp;gt;12\u2009months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medical records were retrospectively collected from 9 UK-based referral centers for all available time points.

Non\u2013gravity-dependent BS (NDBS) was noted to form before GBM development in 9\/20 dogs, and breeds at-risk for GBM were more likely to have NDBS.
