A male, wild-caught kangaroo rat developed anorexia and wasting. The animal was euthanized and a gastric trichobezoar found at necropsy. The paucity of information regarding the clinical medicine of this species is a hindrance to those charged with the care of kangaroo rats. Gastric trichobezoar should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of anorexia in kangaroo rats.
一只野生捕获的雄性更格卢鼠出现了厌食和消瘦症状。该动物被实施安乐死，尸检时发现胃内有毛粪石。关于该物种临床医学的信息匮乏，这对负责照料更格卢鼠的人员来说是一个障碍。在更格卢鼠出现厌食病例时，应将胃毛粪石视为鉴别诊断的考虑因素。
