Kim: I was wondering what exactly you mean when you say you have been able to control insulinoma by more protein in the diet. Did the blood sugar values change? Or did they still remain low but that the attacks ceased? The reason I am interested is that one of my ferrets never ever showed any symptoms or ever had any attacks. On a routine blood test we found his blood sugar to be very low and even retested several times again to make sure it was not just a fluke. He was an older ferret I adopted from a shelter almost three years ago and shortly after I got him, I started feeding him and my others only homemade soup [ground up turkey, rabbit, bones and organs, eggs with shells]. They got this several times a day. Just makes me wonder if that is why he never had symptoms and if a ferret has no outward symptoms but still has low blood sugar, is it okay not to give pred?
