Article Synopsis
- Mycobacterium genavense infection was identified in a ferret showing symptoms like left eye droop, swelling of conjunctiva, and a retrobulbar mass.
- The diagnosis relied on cytological analysis revealing granulomatous inflammation, confirmed by Ziehl-Neelsen staining and genetic testing through a 16S rRNA gene analysis.
- After 6 months of antibiotic treatment led to initial recovery, symptoms returned, prompting suspicion of a recurrence and ultimately resulting in the decision to euthanize the ferret.
