Priscilla, as you know, in ferrets IBD is a catchbucket phrase for
intestinal problems that are otherwise undiagnosed.

Some ferrets with neural crest genetic variants have incorrect
innervation of either of the intestines, the stomach, or a combination.
The neural crest genetic variation considered to be most likely in
ferrets is KIT. That variation will be why there were the blaze, the
deafness, and extraneous white patches.

We also have been through that.

I am not up to much typing today so doing a quick search for you:
