Hi, my name is Michelle Stephenson and I am a 3rd year veterinary student at Auburn University in Alabama. I have an older (guessing 5 yrs) female MF ferret. Last May, we removed her right adrenal gland due to cancer of course. We've known for a couple of months now that her disease was back and in the other adrenal so Tuesday we removed it. At surgery they also found an insulinoma and removed half of her pancreas. She was put on a glucose drip overnite and it was removed Wed. morning. She came home last night, still tired but responsive to her treats and ate the head off of a pinkie mouse (yuk!). This morning (thurs.) she was totally lethargic and unresponsive. I assumed she was having a hypoglycemic or Addisonian (low steroids in the blood due to no adrenals) crisis. I gave her a milligram of Pred and some honey and she slowly came around. She is still refusing to look at her food and she is still tired. But she does get up to go in her litter pan and she did climb into her fleece hammock a few minutes ago. I am getting her some canned A/D for eats and putting her on daily pedia-pred today. Basically, I am looking for anyone with a ferret in this same situation and wondering how you treated it post-surgically and any other advice you all can give. I don't exactly know how this email ferret list works but I will be checking it for responses and my personal email address is: [log in to unmask] Thanks everyone. I just love hearing about all of your little guys. And rest assured that in one year when I am out practicing veterinary medicine, I will know how to treat these little guys and if I don't, I will find someone that can. [Posted in FML issue 1844]
