Why would people who have ferrets with insulinoma feed them sustical or ensure..the first 3 ingredients are water and 2 forms of sugar? When my Joey wants up he stands on his hind legs, I put my hand down and he wraps all 4 legs around my arm and waits to be lifted, tis a morning ritual, he wants to be lifted to drink out of the bathroom sink and sneak in a quick lick off my duck shaped soap. My dear sweet phoebe has got a serious pred. belly. I know what this drug is doing to her body, even though it is giving her life, it is also taking it..I feel like I am slowly killing her. She still eats, sleeps poops, and when given the chance, runs like a kit through the grass, and every so often interacts with the others. As a v-tech, it is easier for me to know when to help OTHER peoples pets over to the bridge, but I am BLIND to my own pets. I think she still has quality in her life..she has not lost that spark in her eyes. I figure when she can no longer eat or poop that her quality of life is no more..I hope that time does not come for a long time... June [Posted in FML issue 2804]
