Hey, I wanted to post a follow-up: I was premature in assuming that my regular vet's practice couldn't perform EKGs. I spoke to them this morning when they opened, and they said that they CAN do this on the premises. They'll see Pumpkin on Thursday. Hopefully we can rule out heart problems one way or another and focus on the insulinoma and the only problem. It's been a very looooong 2006. The days when I had just one sick ferret whose symptoms could be easily controlled by meds seem like ages ago. I don't know how shelter operators do it year in and year out -- you all have my sincere admiration. John [Posted in FML issue 5300]
