Subject: Re: polyps and insulinoma

Dr. Karen and Mike Janke,
I was so scattered yesterday with the crisis in our
country, I actually forgot to ask the vet about the
polyps.

A CBC was done on him 2 months ago. Yesterday just
the glocuse level was taken. Dr. S. said that there
is a test she can do which would determine for sure
that it is insulinoma, but that it is $80 and that she
didn't feel it's necessary. Would you recommend that
I have that test done? What are the normal procedures
for diagnosing insulinoma?

As far as protein, she did not tell me anything. I
have been feeding him chicken baby food before the
pred.

This is a new vet for us, as I just moved to
Lancaster, PA. I've been told that this animal
hospital is the most ferret knowledgable, however I'm
really doubting at least this vet's knowledge of
ferrets.

I'm sorry that my mind is so scattered right now.
This insulinoma is serious for Buddy, but the crisis
in the nation is even more serious today. Please
continue to send me ideas and information.

Vicky
