I posted a few days ago asking for information from anyone that had experience with a ferret with diabetes. Considering I haven't heard anything, I will assume that it is extremely rare. I know that my vet didn't know what to do. A few days ago Nancy was literally at death's door. Thanks to my mother's help we were able to pull her through by sheer will. We fed her thin gruel every 3-4 hours to make sure she was taking in liquids and nourishment. I had really given up; Nancy seemed so sad, dejected and hopeless; she was just a limp rag, everytime I saw her I just cried. Friday night I was ready to give up on her and made an appointment to put her to sleep but as a last ditch effort I doubled her Insulin dose (after consulting her vet) and Nancy work up Saturday morning a new ferret. She is still not 100% but at least she is alert and conscious. Her urine still shows signs of glucose present and she goes in for a blood test this coming weekend. But at least I have some hope that she can have some quality of life left. If there is anyone who has had any experience with diabetes in ferrets before PLEASE let me know. I would like to know what to expect with this condition and what can be done to make her life more comfortable. Her vet is learning from this as I am, and I'm very scared.
