We had a four year old spayed female come into the shelter who was on .6 cc of Prelone syrup (5 mg/5 ml) twice a day for insulinoma. The person who gave her up said her vet had never discussed the possibility of surgery with her. This ferret would crash if she didn't get her prednisone doses every 12 hours. So we scheduled surgery, and the vet says that her pancreas looked absolutely normal! No tumors to be seen. Her liver was very pale and fatty, which he didn't like, and he went ahead and took a piece of the pancreas. She is being very slow in recovering, but seems to be doing better. Any ideas or suggestions? We're not sure whether we should continue the prednisone, or whether her blood sugar will be more stable now. Sara Petersen FURRY [Posted in FML issue 3321]
