My experience is the same. My Sammy never seemed to benefit from Timmy's
Tonic when he had insulinoma. It *may* have helped Cassie; she only ever
had very mild and rare symptoms, and they *seemed* to be gone when both
ferrets had Timmy's in their water. But it's hard to say. In any case,
it may just be that it helps some ferrets and not others.
