Hi We did a second visit to the vet today with my insulinoma suspected ferret Hubert. They did an ultrasound and a x-ray. They didn't find anything on the ultrasound (they primarily looked at the adrenal, kidney & pancreas). The x-ray showed bronchiel pattern which puzzled the vet (and me) a bit, he had shown no signs of coughing, he did a have a cold a few weeks back. As the vet said if it's not do to a cold it could be asthma and he had no knowledege of asthmatic ferrets. Anyway surgery could be risky if it is. Anyone with knowledge about this? Besides this we discussed the risk with surgery, from the vets point of view the operation it self is safe with an experienced surgent, he was more worried about the post-operation care. (I remember Lynn wrote something about this a few faiml's back but I cant find it) He said it common for dogs to develop an pancreas-infection and also they need close follow up on the glucose level a couple of days after surgery. Could anyone help me and my vet on specific post-operation partial pancreastomi. Especially valuable if it's compared with dogs and cats.
