Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some information on treatment
options for ferrets with insulinoma. My vet says that my
ferret has small tumors on her pancreas that causes her blood
sugar level to drop causing seizures... and it has. I am
currently treating her with prednisone but it does not seem to
be doing much. Her blood test showed her blood sugar level to
be 18 instead of 100 where it should be. My vet suggested
surgery.
Is this my only option? What can I do? I am at a loss. I would
appreciate any help you can give me!
