Dear Aisha:
You may want to check the archives of this list - there is extensive
material on Insulinoma. You may also check the archives of the
Ferret Mailing list as well (available through Yahoo!) - also the
Medical FAQ at www.ferretcentral.org will give you a good start on
your quest.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP
