TL;DR:
Gallbladder wall thickening was observed in at least one dog in each group, therefore caution is recommended for gallbladders wall thickness ultrasonographic interpretation in dogs when these drugs have been administered, and the association between histamine plasma concentration and gallbladder thickness was compared with a mixed-effects model.
