Hi all. When we discussed Rocky's weight gain on prednisolone, my most
recent vet told me not to feed him more than 3 times a day and to leave
just kibble out. She says he's not eating kibble because he doesn't
have to [I feed him Bob's CG, a little chicken, sometimes babyfood
with ground kibble and cream with his meds (Thank you Aunt Shirley in
Australia, says Rocky). However, he will go (and has gone) 12 hours
overnight without eating if he only has kibble. You all know how
stubborn ferrets can be with their food, food bowls, etc. So what do
I do?

He will be going on Diazoxide as soon as I get it. Thanks, Lisa for
telling me about Pet Health Pharmacy. It only cost $36 plus $5
shipping! She said then I can cut the pred dose in half and that he
should lose some weight.

I never thought I'd have to worry about Rocky being too fat; if
anything he was too thin at times.

I suppose she's right that if he's really hungry he'll eat the kibble.
But I'm reluctant to hold out now that he has insulinoma.

Thanks,
Shron & Rocky
