Following the info I sent someone else who responded to my post.  It is
cheaper, and, even better, my ferret LIKES it!  :)
 
The pharmacist's name is Simon Lorberg, at Liberty Drugs, 110-02 Liberty
Avenue, Richmond Hill, NY 11419, tel 718-845-2681, or 877-733-5533.  My
vet put me in touch with him, because my local pharmacist could only get
proglycem in a chocolate mint syrup, which my little Alfalfa would detest!
Simon recommended this new formula.  I'm in New Jersey, so Simon sends me
the meds via UPS.  I don't exactly what the formula is, but the vehicle is
an oil that smells to me like mainly sesame oil, perhaps with a bit of cod
liver oil.  My other ferrets want to lick Al's face after he's had his
meds, so this apparently appeals to them too.  Good news in case any of
them ever develops insulinoma.  The concentration of this formula is 10 mg
per 30 mls of solution.  Al gets .5 ml twice a day, and it ends up costing
me about $50 a month.  Still not cheap, but the previous formula was
costing me three times that!
