Anonymous: read in the Ferret Health List using the Files and the archives
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/ and read in the latest
issue of "Ferrets" magazine for an article on it by Dr. Bruce Williams.

Marvelous! Such good news is always up-lifting.
One thing we tend to avoid around here for any of them are starch treats.
I don't know if it makes any difference in insulinoma rates later on, but
we have a lower than normal rate and always have had. That is only
anecdotal, though, and may mean nothing since the sample is too small to
know.
What we are doing with insulinoma here now and hoping for the best is to
still avoid sweets until the late stages of insulinoma in case that makes
a difference (which it might) but we are giving sugars in the late stages
and getting extra quality time that way for Warp. Trying something
further for her now, too, which is discussed in a KP from FHL post today.
Bill usually puts those near the bottom of the digest.
>>Sukie, if you're reading this, I hope you're feeling better, too.
Thank you; am beginning to so I'm happy about that, too.

LOL! Thanks. I don't much mind having folks disagree with what I say.
Pretty much no matter what anyone says, there are always going to be those
who disagree and when it's done constructively it's a learning situation,
even if it sometimes isn't as comfy a learning situation as others. I
just don't like words being attributed to me that I didn't say no matter
who does so. Such attributions by anyone seem to me to be inappropriate,
but my concerns didn't go beyond that.
