I need advice...I just took my 7-year old Dweezil to the emergency vet tonight (this is the Dweezil that had adrenal surgery this spring). I found her today weak, lethargic, really 'out of it'...I took her out of her cage and kept her on the couch with me for awhile; she'd stumble a few step and then lay down and try to sleep, but her eyes never closed... just stayed half-lidded. She lay there next to me for quite some time with her head resting on my hand, which she never does...she's not a 'lap-ferret'-type. She would drink water if I presented it to her in a bowl. So off to the vet we go. She was hypothermic (temp 97F) and hypoglycemic (73); I understand the range to be around 100-200. The vet kept her for several hours, warmed her up and got her temp back up, got her blood sugar back up (127), sub q'd her 40cc of fluid, noted that she'd had diarrhea twice while there and was a bit dehydrated, and gave me Flagyl to give her 0.3cc/2xday/5days and sent her home with me. This is not my regular vet, as of course this happened on a Friday evening, and the vet we saw tonight isn't a specific 'ferret-vet', though she was fairly knowledgeable about the possibility of insulinoma. I honestly can't afford to keep her at the emergency vet all weekend (tonight's little adventure was nearly $200 for about 4 hours) so I won't be able to do anything with Dweezil until Monday, but she's not doing terrific at all...still lethargic, but a little bit perkier, not moving around much, her nose looks pale but is wet. I just don't know what to do...I have her in a carrier in our bedroom, instead of in her cage in the ferret room, but I just don't know what else to do for her, or what else may be wrong. I keep wondering if I'm going to walk in and find her gone. She was fine last night, playing and running around with the other 3, who are all fine. I just don't know what else could be going on, or if it is insulinoma, how to treat it, or if she's caught something, other than giving her the Flagyl (which of course she hates, I knew she would; I'm allergic to it besides!) what else I can/should do with her come Monday. Dweezil's my first; and I worry about her more than anything in the world, and am really scared for her. Any help/advice/encouraging words are welcome.
