I have a ferret who has been having problems with her sugar. She had a couple nasty attacks a couple months ago, so she took Pred for about three weeks and then was back to normal. Well in the last three days her sugar has dropped so many times I can't count and she isn't bouncing back like she did before. I have kept her warm with hot water bottles as her temp keeps dropping. I am syringe feeding her a mix of dextrose, nutri-cal and AD every hour or so around the clock. She will get a little better and then just as fast will crash again. She is getting sub-q liquids with vitamin B to keep her hydrated. I am just at a loss as what I should do. Is she going to get better? Is what I am doing actually helping her or just prolonging the inevitable? I have had two ferrets, Skeeter and Tilly, put to sleep in the last two months and I just don't know if I can handle another loss, but I also don't want her to suffer. My vet doesn't seem overly optimistic that she is going to pull through this, but also wants to make sure that we give her every chance. While I love my vet and trust her, I am just wondering what others think and maybe to find others who have been through something similar to this. Any advice would be appreciated.
