My ferret had insulinoma. He was only diagnosed three weeks ago, and he died Monday night. It was so hard to see him like that. The day he died he wouldn't open his eyes, did not move, wouldn't eat, and pretty much just layed there. I felt so helpless and didn't want to watch him die. He was only five years old. He was on Prednisone which did nothing for him. I am writing this letter to tell everyone that if their ferret shows any sign of this disease please go to your vet. It is better to be safe than sorry. No one wants to see their pet that way. It is an awful disease. Thanx, Heather, Jasper, Coconut, and Chunkey (his friends) [Posted in FML issue 1998]
