My daughter Joy is away, her Mom is here asking for help.
 
Minnie: Several months ago Joy was tolfd that she had low blood glucose,
although she had no symptoms and she was fine.
 
2 weeks ago, Minnie had her third surgery for removal of right adrenal.
She seemed to bounce back fine from the operation.  Joy left for her
schooling last week.  I was here visiting Friday and Minnie seemed fine,
although Dave (Joy's husband) felt Minnie seemed 'light'.  Saturday Dave
noticed that she had hind end weakness, she's wobbling swhen she walks,
she's lethargic.  It's Sunday, and I am amazed at how skinny she has
gotten since Friday.  It's like she dropped all her weight overnight.
 
Joy says: As she was being weaned off the predisone afte the operation, we
put her back on pediapred .3 twice a day.  If it is insulinoma, is .3 the
correct dose for a ferret weighing a 1-1/2.  If her symptoms don't get
better should the dose go up or down?  We have no access to a vet today.
We need help.
 
Since it's her 3rd operations, would adhesions be giving her problems?
 
Waiting for your input.
