Causes of GI ulceration include foreign body or toxin ingestion, Helicobacter mustelae infection, treatment with ulcerogenic drugs, GI neoplasia, and azotemia caused by renal disease. H. mustelae infection in ferrets is associated with varying degrees of gastritis, with or without duodenitis, and it can result in ulcer formation. mustelae gastritis may be a diagnosis of exclusion of other common disorders, such as the presence of a GI foreign body; treatment for H. Antacid therapy may not be helpful in the early treatment of Helicobacter infection because affected ferrets usually develop hypochlorhydria. The most common noninfectious causes of diarrhea include dietary indiscretion, foreign body ingestion, trichobezoar, and inflammatory bowel disease. mustelae gastritis, PBD, and eosinophilic gastroenteritis all cause diarrhea and wasting in ferrets. Severe gastritis may be evident in gastric biopsy samples from ferrets showing no signs of clinical disease.	./cache/cord-021491-x8czsmyd.txt	./txt/cord-021491-x8czsmyd.txt
