Hi Christine:
I also have a female ferret named Brandy who has insuloma. We noticed that she was walking like a drunk so we took her to the vet and the blood test
revealed insuloma. We give her 3cc of prendisone two times a day and she is like a new ferret. I also monitor everything that she eats. We don't
know how old she is as she was given to us, but I do know that she is feeling pretty well. I wish you luck with your fuzzy
Ivy
