    Snippet: These results suggest that Cg is significantly associated with concurrent fecal cytological evidence of gastrointestinal inflammation in dogs. The pathogenicity of Cg however, remains an enigma. Based on these results, further investigation of Cg pathogenic effects in dogs may be justified. Such studies would aid in determining the significance of Cg and whether treatment of the infection is warranted in dogs with gastrointestinal disease. Biliar.....

Biliary sludge is associated with gallbladder (GB) dysmotility and mucus hypersecretion suggesting that these factors may lead to GB mucoceles. If biliary sludge progresses to GB mucoceles then treatments to reduce the progression of sludge are warranted.
