I'll second Dr Ruth.  I would keep your insulinoma ferret on pred until
the surgery.  I usually tell my clients to give the morning dose before
bringing them in on the surgery day.  Pred can cause some healing
problems in other animals, but I have not had that problem in ferrets.
In cases where both of the adrenals are removed I start them on Pediapred
right after the surgery then taper them off or down to lowest dose needed
usually with Percorten.  Again no problem with them healing.
 
Hope that helps,
Jerry
