“…Unlike dogs having four pairs of salivary glands (parotid, mandibular, sublingual and zygomatic), ferrets have five pairs of salivary glands: the parotid, molar, mandibular, sublingual and the zygomatic glands (Hedlund and Welch Fossum 2007, Lewington 2007, Lightfoot and others 2012). A salivary mucocele is defined as a collection of saliva that has leaked from a damaged salivary gland or duct and is surrounded by granulation tissue produced secondary to inflammation caused by the free saliva in the tissues.…”

“…In ferrets with salivary mucoceles, aspiration of the fluid may provide temporary relief (Lightfoot and others 2012). In one ferret article, oral marsupialisation with a linear or wide circular incision of the mucocele medial wall was effective in two cases (Bauck 1985).…”

“…Definitive treatment for salivary mucoceles in dogs, cats and ferrets is usually surgery, consisting of drainage of the mucocele and complete excision of the affected gland or gland–duct complex (Miller and Pickett 1989, Hedlund and Welch Fossum 2007, Hoefer and Fox 2012). As described in dogs, the zygomatic arch can be partially resected in ferrets to facilitate exposure of the zygomatic gland (Lightfoot and others 2012). In dogs, the mandibular and monostomatic sublingual salivary glands are usually excised together because of their intimate association; removal of one salivary gland might damage the other gland (Hedlund and Welch Fossum 2007, Bennet 2009).…”

Ferret 1 was a seven-year-old entire male ferret that was presented with a unilateral swelling on the head and ipsilateral exophthalmos. Cytology of the fluid inside the mass, histopathology of the wall and (contrast) radiographs led to diagnosis of a zygomatic mucocele. Marsupialisation provided only temporary relief and total excision of the zygomatic salivary gland was indicated. A CT scan performed before surgery demonstrated the extent of the mucocele around the zygomatic arch. Although excision of the salivary gland went uneventfully, atrophy of the temporalis muscle was observed postoperatively. Temporary unilateral facialis nerve paralysis developed immediately post surgery. Ferret 2 was a two-year-old entire male ferret with a history of regurgitation that was presented with a painless fluctuant mandibular swelling. Cytology of the fluid inside the mass led to presumptive diagnosis of a mandibular mucocele. The mass was surgically excised and histopathology of the removed tissue led to the diagnosis of a mandibular salivary gland mucocele with concurrent adenoma.

Contents Reproduction control of small mammals is challenging. The purposes are the control of fertility and the reduction of sexual behaviour, aggressiveness and odour. Moreover, some species like ferret females need to be neutered to prevent bone marrow suppression caused by hyperoestrogenism. Many methods of sterilization have been reported, including surgical and chemical techniques. This article describes the reproductive physiology of ferrets and the techniques used to control their reproduction. Some aspects of the use of long‐acting deslorelin implants in rabbits and rodents are also described.
