Abstract
A 12-year-old captive female cougar (Felis concolor) died following pe rforation of a gastric ulcer. Histologically, erosions and ulcers were present in the antral area of the stomach. Fibroplasia and infiltrate s of neutrophils bordered the ulcers. Modified Steiner silver stain re vealed numerous tightly coiled helical bacteria. The bacteria stained positively with a rabbit polyclonal anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody. Morphology, location, and positive immunohistochemical staining sugge sts that the organism is a Helicobacter.
