Hi, I have a shelter ferret that has had trouble bouncing back from a partial pancreatomy in July. He was lethargic, no appetite, etc. before surgery and has remained that way ever since. I have had trouble maintaining his glucose, having to steadily increase his prednisone. We are now at maximum dose (glucose still in the 40's). We started him on Proglycem this weekend and I took him to the vet on Monday to have some lab work done, also his breathing seems somewhat labored to me. The lab results are somewhat puzzling to me and that is what I need help with. This was a 4 hour fast. Glucose 122 ( post proglycem) Total protein 11.6 (normal 5.2-7.5) Albumin 3.8 Globulin 7.9 Bun 34 AST 105 Basically everything was normal, except for the very high protein and globulin. My question is, could this be caused by his mostly "Chicken Baby food" diet, or is this what is meant by Hypergammaglobulinemia? Should I be worried about ADV as a possiblity? I should also mention his WBC was normal at 10.7. My vet is also looking into this, but any help from this list would be appreciated. Thank you and sincere condolences to all who have lost their little buddies. Julie [Posted in FML issue 3301]
