The umbrella term IBD used in ferrets and other small animals for a variety of gastrointestinal diseases is not the same disease that is seen in humans. • Ferrets are susceptible to several gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions that have erroneously been placed under the umbrella term of IBD. Endoscopic biopsies are often done early, after symptomatic medical therapy (see Acute General Treatment) has failed to control clinical signs. • It is not appropriate for a pathologist to issue a diagnosis of "inflammatory bowel disease." It is more appropriate to list the histologic findings, and to indicate that the changes could be "compatible with" a clinical diagnosis of that syndrome. • Chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease in ferrets is not always cured.
