Hi Debbie :) I would take him off the Pred. If BG is too high then they react with tiredness and non-activity. 96 is fine for BG. I would also add Lupron shots monthly at 100mcg. Or just go ahead and get the surgery done. The itchiness, hair thinning, etc are all signs and you do not want a male ferret to go too long without Lupron for the Prostate or the surgery. Trust me on that, I dealt with it for 2 yrs with Albert (battling the Prostate). Give this little mana kiss for me :) Hugs, Staci [Posted in FML 6424]
