In regards to Emetrol for ferrets: It's been a long time since I have taken it, but doesn't that contain a TON of sugar and syrup? Any amount of that would NOT be good for a ferret with Insulinoma. I don't believe the sick ferret in question had it, but I still feel it needed to be said since it was put out there as a relief for ferrets. Frankly, Pepto Bismol or a crushed Pepcid AC mixed with some water work fine. Before giving ANY human over the counter medicine, you must do your research. If you have a ferret with Insulinoma, you must double that effort. When Bailey had a chest cold, we had to get her Diabetic cough medicine so she wouldn't get the sugar. When unsure, consult your vet. Julie [Posted in FML issue 3020]
