>From: Kathie Hicks <[log in to unmask]> > >Why would a ferret get diabetes all of a sudden? Lilly has never been >on any kind of meds and hasn't had any surgeries. Please help. Kathie, Hi. I'm wondering the same thing. Our ferret, Squiggy, was diagnosed as a diabetic a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information on the subject. If anyone has some suggested reading, I would really appreciate the information. Squiggy was a rescue, so we don't have any background on him other than he was starved by the people who had him before us, but he has been with us now for two years. He is around 5 years old and has had no surgeries. He is adrenal and gets a monthly Lupron shot. Anne [Posted in FML 5748]
