'''Bacterial Urinary Tract Infections'''
<br />
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.
<br />
<br />
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.
