NONBACTERIAL THROMBOTIC ENDOCARDITIS IN A FERRET (MUSTELA PUTORIUS FURO)
Jack J. Kottwitz, D.V.M., Virginia Luis-Fuentes, M.R.C.V.S., Ph.D., Dipl. A=
.C.V.I.M. (cardiology), Bindu Micheal, D.V.M, M.Sc., M.S.
A 4-yr-old male ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was presented with a 3-day h=
istory of pelvic limb ataxia and weakness. A cellulitis associated with a d=
eep bite wound was identified and initially treated with antibiotics and an=
ti-inflammatory medication. Two weeks later, a grade IV/VI cardiac murmur w=
as identified on physical examination. Echocardiographic examination reveal=
ed irregular thickening of the aortic valve leaflets, with normal chamber d=
imensions and normal systolic function. The ferret's physical condition rap=
idly deteriorated and it was subsequently euthanatized. Myxomatous degenera=
tion of the aortic valve leaflets, with ulceration and vegetative lesions, =
and multiorgan infarctions were identified during necropsy. A bacterial eti=
ologic agent was not identified from blood culture or histopathology. Lesio=
ns present were consistent with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis, a nov=
el condition in the ferret.

Abstract
Pet rabbits and ferrets are increasingly presented to veterinarians, and ne=
w demands are placed on veterinarians to manage pain in these species. Rela=
tively little data exist regarding the efficacy of analgesics in these anim=
als. Rabbits and ferrets exhibit different behavioral and physiological res=
ponses to pain, and an understanding of the normal behavior of these specie=
s is critical to pain assessment. Although acute pain is relatively easy to=
identify, signs of chronic pain may be more subtle. Occasionally, simple h=
usbandry corrections can help alleviate painful chronic conditions. The pre=
vention of pain by minimizing tissue trauma with a gentle surgical techniqu=
e and preemptive analgesia is critical when dealing with rabbits and ferret=
s in the clinical setting. Many of the same analgesic techniques and drugs =
used in dogs and cats can be extrapolated to rabbits and ferrets, though so=
me of the drugs have specific indications and contraindications. Discussion=
s of the clinical use of opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, loc=
al anesthetics, ketamine, and tramadol in rabbits and ferrets are presented=
. Reference to the current literature is made where possible. In addition, =
insights gained from the author=92s experience with the clinical use of the=
se drugs in rabbits and ferrets are presented.
Key words: Rabbit; ferret; pain; analgesia; opioids; nonsteroidal anti-infl=
ammatory drugs (NSAIDs); ketamine; tramadol =

There are also MANY "current issue" ferret articles here:

but I already carried over info about those which was in PubMed in an earli=
