Hi all
This i think is my third post in three months. I found out Saturday that
Ashlar might have insulinoma. i basically was devastated. I'm one of those
guys that can't read some of the posts to the FML cos I break down to
easily. Sorry, What can i say????Ashlar is probably 4 yrs old, We aren't
sure she he was a rescue but since his teeth are very opaque, almost
translucent that's my best guess.
After reading everything that i can on insulinoma i was pretty freaked .
And no we don't have a blood sugar count yet but with the instability of the
back legs and the drooling accompnied with pawing at the mpouth it souinds
like insulinoma to me . I will be taking him in for a glucose count Sat.
What really upsets me is when i took him in to the "ferret knowledgeable
(sp?)" vet 2 months ago and mentined the instability of his back legs , they
don't seem weak just sometimes he falls over like the tricycle in the
Laugh-in TV show, and then brought him back in within a week for the
drooling and the pawing aat the mouth the Vet didn't mention insulinoma at
all.!!!
One of our Ferts decided to cheer me up Sat night i guess since when i woke
up one of them had renamed one of the directories in the puter to aAAAAAAA
and was looking fro the file asgrefdw in folder kju:lok. I think i know the
culprit but how can you beat a ferret when all they want to do is add some
lightheartedness to your life ( and yes i'm being facetious). That was the
first time i noticed they were playing with the puter. Possible secret code
to some1???? Anyway thanks for being here for me and BIG keep upi the good
work!!!!
I do hve one question though. What kind of treats are acceptable for a
hypoglycemic ferret?Every morning all three follow me downstairs for some
raisins hopefully and at least some reg cherrios. But i've heard that
raisins or cheerios aren't good for a ferret with insulinoma. And i can't
stand to giv to other two raisins and not give Ashlar one so none of them
get them anymore. I don't know if i can take the disappointment in their
eyes much longer.They are about to make me crack!!!!!!!
