Hi again. I have a question about Weezer. She's my six year old rescue that I have had for almost a full year now. Anyway, we found out that she has insulinoma, as some of you may remember. Now the vet and I are convinced she also has adrenal. The problem is that she is too thin to even consider putting her under. I KNOW she would not survive the surgery. What can I do with an insulinomic ferret to fatten her up to healthy enough for surgery? Is it better to just let her live out her days without putting her through the trauma of surgery, or can she really be helped? I mean, she is very thin. Only 1.2 lbs on a ferret that should weigh at least 2 lbs like my other girls. She doesn't have any hair to lose. She's almost bald on her legs below the knee, her coat is very thin all over, and balder patches are developing. She doesn't have any body fat to keep her warm, so she sleeps all day in the sleep sack, a blanket, or her fuzzy hanging tube to stay warm. I think I'll order some Timmy's Tonic, but in the mean time, what can I feed her to fatten her up? I've tried giving her the Deliver 2.0 and other similar items, but they seem to only give her diarrhea and very smelly poops. I only tried one duck soup recipe, but she hated it and got the same loose, smelly poops. I don't mean to sound like I won't do everything I can for her, but she doesn't use the litterbox that much and my carpet is really getting stained. I guess I can confine her, but I don't want to hurt her quality of life for my carpet's sake. If she enjoys running around, I want her to run around. I just want to help her the best way I can.
