摘要
Since ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) were first introduced into Croatia as pets around 15 years ago, their popularity and number has risen continuously. This increase has been met by a concomitant need for additional veterinary diagnostic attention. We conducted a retrospective study of 14 cytological, 49 histopathological diagnoses and 5 morphological diagnoses made from samples obtained from 68 individuals of the Croatian ferret population over a 7 year period. Submitted samples originated from 60.7% male and 39.3% female animals, with an median age of 5.1 years, and an age range from 1 year to 9 years. All cases diagnosed at the Department of Veterinary Pathology Zagreb were classified as either neoplasms (n = 37), inflammatory lesions (n = 15), degenerative disorders (n = 5) or miscellaneous lesions (n = 11). The most sensitive ferret organ systems to injurious stimuli were the haemolymphatic system, the skin and the endocrine system. Neoplasia presented as the major type of injury to organs, with multicentric lymphoma being the leading diagnosis (diagnosed in 12 cases). Ferrets are still a relatively rare companion animal in Croatia, but the lesions described in our survey correspond to lesions in ferret populations in other countries

由于雪貂（Mustela Putorius Furo）首次被引入克罗地亚作为宠物左右的宠物，他们的普及和数量连续上升。通过伴随需要额外的兽医诊断注意力，已经满足了这种增加。我们进行了对14个细胞学，49个组织病理学诊断的回顾性研究，并从7年内从克罗地亚雪貂群的68名中获得的样品进行了5种形态诊断。提交的样品起源于60.7％的男性和39.3％的女性动物，中位年龄为5.1岁，年龄为1年至9年。诊断兽医病理学部ZAGREB诊断的病例被分类为肿瘤（n = 37），炎症病变（n = 15），退行性疾病（n = 5）或杂种病变（n = 11）。最敏感的雪貂机组织对令人伤害的刺激是臭氧系统，皮肤和内分泌系统。肿瘤呈现为器官的主要损伤，多元淋巴瘤是主要的诊断（在12例中诊断）。雪貂仍然是克罗地亚相对罕见的伴侣动物，但我们调查中描述的病变对应于其他国家的雪貂群体的病变
