Read about Jojo's emergency surgery

This is Jojo. Jojo is an eleven-year-old Bishon Frise cross. Jojo recently underwent life-saving surgery. Jojo was referred as an emergency to our soft tissue specialist, Dylan, at our Animal Trust Ellesmere Port hospital after being diagnosed with a gallbladder mucocele at Animal Trust Shrewsbury.  

A gallbladder mucocele is a serious, life-threatening condition where the gallbladder becomes obstructed, leading to a build-up of mucus and bile. This obstruction can cause dangerous complications. Given how critical this condition can be, prompt removal of the gallbladder is recommended to prevent further health issues. 

Jojo’s surgery was a success. We are happy to report that Jojo made an impressive recovery, she quickly regained her appetite and was back to her normal, happy self!
