Hallo Y'all
 
My new ferret, S.F. Mulder is still mellow.  He wears out way before my
other ferrret, T.S. Teru.  My vet drew a blood sample and sent it up to
Michigan for testing for insulanoma.
 
Has anyone else had this test?
 
Mulder's blood sugar is really low (60s) but he's alert and does run around
and play, although I've never seen him do the weasel war dance.  He hasn't
had any sesures (sp? it's too early...) or drooling fits.  He sleeps far
deeper than Teru and sometimes has to be picked up and played with to get
him to wake up.
 
My vet reccomended Nutrical as a way to get his blood sugar up (Mulder quit
having anything to do with Karo syrup after the first week) and he'll eat
this as fast as I can get it out of the tube.  Has anybody out there got
any other high sugar treat ideas?  And if Mulder doesn't have insulnoma,
won't all this sugar damage his pancreas?
 
If he does have insulanoma, what can I do other than surgery?
