In a small percentage of adrenal ferrets >(5-8%) the adrenal(s) overproduce cortisol along with the sex hormones >and androgens. If you reduce the cortisol level this could lower the >glucose level in an insulinoma ferret. This can happen after surgery >to remove the adrenal gland too. Again this is a rare situation and >not a major problem. If the glucose decreases then increase the amount >of Pediapred to compensate for the lower cortisol level. > >Hope that helps, >Jerry Murray, DVM brought to the FML by FHL co-moderator, Sukie (not a vet) Current FHL address: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html [Posted in FML 5536]
