Abstract
Liver disease in ferrets is often subclinical and underdiagnosed.
Clinical pathology and diagnostic imaging are needed to guide
clinicians but definite diagnosis is based on histopathologic lesions.
Inflammatory digestive conditions can lead to ascending tract infection
and hepatobiliary inflammation. Ferrets have a specific sensitivity to
hepatic lipidosis. Incidence of hepatic neoplasia is high in ferrets.
After a summary of anatomy and physiology of the ferret liver, hepatic
diseases known in ferret species are reviewed with their subsequent
diagnostic procedures.
