Gallbladder problems in cats are not common, but when they do occur, they generally affect middle-aged and older cats. Gallbladder disorders are generally divided into three categories: obstructive disease, non-obstructive disease, and rupture of the gallbladder. Tumors can also affect the gallbladder.

About the Gallbladder

The gallbladder rests in the abdomen where it's attached to the liver and pancreas. It’s a small, pear-shaped organ that stores bile, a liquid secreted by the liver and discharged into the small intestine to help eliminate waste from the body and facilitate digestion and the absorption of fats.

Gallbladder Inflammation

Inflammation can be one gallbladder problem in cats, and is usually caused by a bacterial infection that starts in the intestine and travels up the bile duct or spreads through the blood. Inflammation can also spread to the surrounding branches of the bile duct and the liver.

Gallbladder Obstruction

Obstructive diseases occur when an abnormal pancreas compresses the bile ducts that lead from the liver to the gallbladder or when gallstones are present, which is rare.

Non-obstructive diseases usually occur as a result of bacterial infection. If the gallbladder ruptures, it is usually caused by blunt trauma, gallstones, or inflammation of the gallbladder.

Additional Support

If you suspect gallbladder problems in your cat, a vet examination will help determine the disorder. Herbs such as Milk Thistle are effective in supporting a cat’s gallbladder and liver.
