The only thing that happened to me that was kinda like what you describe is my girl Clementine who had insulinoma and was around 6 yrs old, one night she fell over on her side in her cage and couldn't right herself and couldn't open her eyes. She could still hear and even took food from a syringe from me. It was night and had to wait til AM to see vet first thing (ER vet would've had no clue)... my ferret vet it was something similar to a stroke, which can sometime be a complication of insulinoma and I had to help her pass. It was very sad. I stayed up all night in bed with her on a pillow, propped up with towels, talking and petting her the whole night so she knew she was safe. It broke my heart. This was a couple years ago. I hope a better outcome for your fert...and I'm sorry if this info scares you, but figured you'd want to know. Hoping for the best, Holly & Tesla (fert), Hershey (dog), Bindi & Moo (cats) [Posted in FML 8162]
