Hello again my fellow family of ferret lovers,
I just wanted to keep all of you posted about how Bandit is doing..I still
have yet to hear back from my vet so I am going to be calling once more
and ask that he calls me back so I can have some questions that needs
answering..  Bandit age 6-7 male neutered sable,weighs in at 3 and one half
pounds and was just diagnosed with insulinoma this past November after
having un needed surgery from another vet.I just wanted to let all of you
know something about my baby in case some of you are new to the FML or
forgot..Bandit is still on .5cc's twice a day of prednisone and until my
new vet calls me back that is where it will stay..  I want to thank all of
you who emailed me privately for suggestions how to force feed him Bob
Church's Chicken Gravy..He still wont have anything to do with it but at
least stopped gagging when I placed some in his mouth and I will continue
to give him some because I knowh his blood sugar must be more regulated
then it is ,so he wont have another seizure..I wish I had made some when I
first got Bandit because even though no one wants to think about it,once
day our baby might get ill and that is not the time to first go and try
some new food..If I had given him some from time to time I am sure that by
now Bandit would eat the chicken gravy and maybe his sugar level would
become more regulated then it is now..  I am going to continue forcing some
and hope that he finally sees this chicken gravy isnt so bad after all..I
just wanted all of you too know as of today how Bandit was doing and I pray
that he doesnt have another seizure again..I will post once my vet calls me
back and will let you all know why he wants to stop the prednisone and use
the other expensive medicine..
 
Take care all and hug your babies,
Michele and Bandit
