Milly Grace will begin taking Pediapred for her diagnosis of borderline
insulinoma.  I picked up her prescription last night and will start her
on the medication tomorrow morning.
 
Being the details freak I am, I read through all of the precautions that
came with the prescription.  Has anyone ever had a ferret react to the
Pediapred?  I'm a bit nervous about how to look for some of the symptoms,
as the precautions are clearly written for a human.  I've specifically
held off giving Milly the medication until I could be there to monitor
throughout the day.
 
Also, the medication clearly states to take with food.  Now, Milly is a
very independent little lady who doesn't like much more than Bandit treats
and Totally Ferret.  And she certainly doesn't like to be told what to
do.  If I have to give her the medication at the same time each day, how
do I ensure that she eats prior to getting the medication?
 
Milly is the best little ferret girl in the whole world and I want to
make sure that the medication that is supposed to help her doesn't make
her sick!
 
Any advice is welcome.  Thank you!
 
Peace,
Melissa Sullivan
