From 2005 to 2013, 17 ferrets were diagnosed with mycobacteriosis at the authors' practices. Clinical findings included ocular, respiratory, and digestive abnormalities. Diagnosis was based on histopathology, specific histochemical stains, and/or on polymerase chain reaction. All bacteria identified belonged to the nontuberculous complex. Several treatment protocols were attempted, frequently based on the use of enrofloxacin. In all, 3 ferrets were considered cured. Mycobacteriosis in ferrets is a polymorphous disease with diverse clinical presentations. It is also likely an underdiagnosed disease in pet ferrets, which appear to be particularly susceptible to environmental sources. Mycobacteriosis should be included in the differential diagnosis for ocular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal diseases; in particular, it should be differentiated from systemic coronavirus infection.
2005年至2013年期间，作者所在诊所诊断出17只雪貂患有分枝杆菌病。临床症状包括眼部、呼吸道和消化系统异常。诊断基于组织病理学、特定的组织化学染色和/或聚合酶链反应。鉴定出的所有细菌均属于非结核分枝杆菌复合群。尝试了几种治疗方案，通常基于恩诺沙星的使用。总共有3只雪貂被认为治愈。雪貂的分枝杆菌病是一种具有多种临床表现的多形性疾病。它在宠物雪貂中也可能是一种诊断不足的疾病，雪貂似乎对环境来源特别易感。分枝杆菌病应列入眼部、呼吸道和胃肠道疾病的鉴别诊断中；特别是，应与全身性冠状病毒感染相鉴别。
