BEGIN QUOTE
Hepatitis is not a single disease entity, but the term we use for inflammation of the liver.
Liver inflammation in ferrets can occur for a number of reasons - bacterial, parasitic,
drug-induced, even certain types of tumors can mimic a hepatitis. While the elevated
bilirubin would tend to support some form of liver impairment (not necessarily
inflammation) without knowing more of the story, it is difficult to point to any one cause.
However, that is why you took the biopsy. The results of the report will likely dictate the
type of treatment that Spike will be on.
With kindest regards,

Lymphocytic portal hepatitis may be seen in chronic inflammatory disease of the GI treact
- it could be Helicobacter, IBD, or other forms of inflammation. It is not a condition that
should be the focus of treatment.
