Well its been a trying week for our little Lillith. As some of you may know, she was recently diagnosed with insulinoma. A very confusing case from the beginning since her blood glucose levels (BGL) in the initial testing were fine. We had the full CBC done on her and everything (including the insulin level) looked ok. However, we finally were able to bring her into the vets when she was actually displaying the classic insulinoma symptoms and yes she did have a very low bgl. So, our plan of action was to try to regulate her somewhat with nutrition and if that doesn't work, we are going to prednisone (sp.). So, for the last few days we've been giving her a supplement of Duck Soup and since Debbie Riccio was kind enough to send me the recipe for the insulinoma elxier (sp again), we'll try that. The only problem is that she doesn't seem to like the Duck Soup too much. Hopefully she'll like the insulinoma stuff better. Her episodes of symptoms are coming more often in the last few days. Previously it was only once every 5-7 days. Now they seem to be coming nearly every day. Our vet wants to give it until Monday and if she doesn't show any improvement through the nutritional supplements, we'll get her on the pred. We have begun tracking her food intake to make sure that she actually is eating during the day. We have had to separate her from her brother and sister so that we can measure her intake and make sure that she's eating enough throughout the day. My question to all of you fine ferret knowledgable people is, is there anything else we should be doing, or could be doing, prior to and once we do put her on the pred. Our vet is pretty good with ferrets and has already consulted with a few other Drs. for further advice but hey, you guys deal with them more than anyone else we know of so any input you can give would be most appreciated. We want to do the right thing for our Lillith since she has been the greatest pet I know of (don't tell her sister and brother but she's also my favorite since she was my first). Any advice is appreciated greatly Steven [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Oh and BIG, It can't be said enough, Thanks for the great work you do!!!! [Posted in FML issue 1537]
