Hi Everyone, I've tried to thank everyone personally who responded to my question about Bandit's prednisone -- I've gotten really busy with work recently and haven't had much time for writing, so I did want to let you know that I do appreciate you taking the time to write to me and the information sent to me was very helpful. I did find out that the sweetner added by the pharmacy was safe for diabetics to use and the vet assured me that it wouldn't affect his glucose in any way. I did have his glucose checked today and it was 95.1, which is good for him. Dr. Welborn was as baffled as I am as to why Bandit is having the weakness/lethargy he has been showing recently. We will do a full CBC to check for other problems as well. I'll keep you posted and thanks again for your concern. As far as using Timmy's for Insulinomic ferrets, I've been giving it to Bandit as part of his"mush" for several months now with no adverse effects. He probably gets about 1/4 tsp or so daily as part of his mix. Lucie @-"-@ (=^ ' ^ =) o00 -\o/- 00o [Posted in FML issue 2418]
