This retrospective study aims to provide information on its prevalence and radiographic appearance in client\u2010owned female domesticated ferrets (<jats:italic>Mustela putorius furo<\/jats:italic>) presented to an academic veterinary medical center, and investigate any association with age, intact versus spayed status, and adrenal disease. Sixty\u2010six ferrets (37 intact and 29 spayed) with a median age of 39.5 months (range, 2\u2013118 months) met inclusion criteria. An os clitoridis was identified in 49 of 66 animals (74.24%). The mean length was 3.06\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.20\u00a0mm and the mean width 0.68\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.18\u00a0mm. An os clitoritis was significantly more common in intact (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.0229) and in older animals (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.01454).
