Abstract:
Exocrine pancreatic adenocarcinoma with carcinomatosis was diagnosed in 2 ferrets. Clinical signs included abdominal distention and hind limb weakness. Ultrasonography revealed moderate ascites in both ferrets, an irregular abdominal mass in 1 ferret, and multiple abdominal masses in the other ferret. The ferrets were euthanatized, and necropsy of 1 ferret revealed carcinomatosis without visceral metastasis.
