Here is an article that describes symptoms, causes and treatment: http://miamiferret.org/fhc/insulinoma.htm Red paw pads aren't mentioned there, but people have occasionally mentioned observing that symptom in conjunction with insulinoma. She should be seen by a vet as soon as possible and her blood glucose should be checked to determine if insulinoma is the culprit here. Good luck!
