Hi Folks;
I really need to know what to do right now. Ferret came in to us after
being
found in the park, so no history. Person said ferret was eating. Ferret
walked around and played and ate. Short time later, ferret found on
bottom
of cage in, what looked to be, an insulinomic episode. She was laying in
a
puddle of urine. Gave Karo to bring her out of it and fed her chicken
gravy
with A/D mixed in it. Called vet and was told to follow protocol for
insulinoma. She is adrenal and on the elderly side. She snapped out of
it
and seemed ok-until now. She went to her bowl to eat kibble. As she was
getting into the pan she collapsed. I grabbed her out and she was like a
wet, limp noodle. She had a gurgling in her throat and when I had her
head
down, clear bubbles came out of her nose. During this time her eyes
become
very large and she looks afraid. I am at a loss of what to do. We have a
Dr.
appt set up but I am afraid she will not wait. Emergency vets here don't
know anything about ferrets. They would, most likely, put her down.
