Lucy has been steadily going dowhill, despite minor ups and down. So today, when she stopped willingly licking food off our fingers, I decided to take some decisive action rather than just let her drift away. Since there's no trusting her blood-glucose reading (w a non-ferret meter) and, based on her symptoms, I decided to try treating her for insulinoma. Dr Dawit agreed it was a reasonable approach, and we started her on prednisolone. Wish her (and us) luck. [Posted in FML 5991]
