Hi Steve; I'd try some basic hypoglycemic treatments before I'd use pred. or any Rx, (just my way of thinking.) Dr. Wallach DVM writes that hypoglycemia usually is caused by food allergies that cause a malabsorption of chromium & vanadium as a result of celiac disease type changes in the intestine and/or large intake of purified sugar and refined flour which increases dumping of chromium in the urine as much as 300%.. He suggests treatment with high animal protein diet, and chromium & vanadium, also B complex & zinc. I finally found a Cr,Vn supplement here in Scottsdale, and they have a B complex in raisin juice.:) A very good health store should have most things, and Pet Tinic would be a good B complex source also. Keep in mind the dose would be on the order of 1/10th capsul or less, as they're packaged for us big people. To try to avoid food allergies, you might try Pro Plan Turkey &/or a Timmy's recipe with Turkey vege. base, & maby even an extra jar of just turkey meat mixed in, as I've heard of more than one ferret allergic to chicken. I'm really not supprised since there's so much garbage and poor processing in the commercial chicken supply line. You might even just try straight turkey meat instead of the turkey vegetable, to raise the meat vs. carbohydrate ratio, with a choice few suppliments mixed in. I know my own hypoglycemia responds well to a high protein percentage as it converts to energy even slower than complex carbohydrates, so gives more long lasting, more even blood sugar levels. One doctor called me a "fast oxidizer", another described me as having a "Ferrari engine in a Chevy body". He advised to have a high quality fuel, & stay clear of fixed walls so I don't crash:) I've heard several people say that ferrets are "naturally" hypoglycemic, so maby more choice in her food would encourage her to eat more often, you might keep a record as much as possible of how often you see her eat and what. My Timmy recently started eating Turkey Pro Plan (YEA!), which is good, as for the last 14 months the only dry food he would eat is Whiskas Kit Nips. That's not bad as it has 5 animal proteins, but once I had to go 100 miles to get it at a reasonable price. The things we do for our kids:) I also like to see him be able to eat more variety. I don't have to worry about my Fred, as he will eat almost anything that will stay still long enough:) He nibbles on all 8 different dry foods I have out & TImmy's recipe each evening. Boy does he have a beautiful, full coat. Most of mine do now, even as the weather is warmer, perhaps as I keep the central air at 80 or so and don't take them out when it's hot. Take care, Gary & the gang of fur Violence is not strength, Compassion is not weakness. From Camelot. [Posted in FML issue 1538]
