'''Bacterial Urinary Tract Infections'''

These infections are commonly seen in female ferrets and not in males. The common causative agents are ''E. coli'' and ''Staphylococcus aureus''. Bladder infections are often sub-clinical in females and infections commonly ascend resulting in pyelonephritis. Renal failure can result from a severe pyelonephritis infection.

Gross lesions can include hydronephrosis and hydroureter in long-standing infections but there are often no lesions grossly. Microscopic infections include ulcerative cystitis and/or a supparative tubulointerstitial nephritis. Bacteria are rarely seen.
