Hi, everyone,

> I have a femal ferret about 31/2 years old.
> Her name is sable and she had been diagnosed with insulmoma.

I read what you said. Every word of it. Please, find a way to take her
to the vet. I was able to work out credit with mine when I was
unemployed and am now paying down my balance.

Put plainly, when we take in an animal we take responsibility for its
welfare. Ferrets depend on us totally. There were times I really
couldn't afford the care my ferrets needed, but I always find a way to
give it to them anyway. I really don't see this as a choice.

I'm sorry. I know that's not the answer you wanted. Without treatment,
though, you could be risking your ferret's life. The symptoms you
listed (and I snipped) aren't insulinoma symptoms. Something else is
going on and it needs to be taken care of.

All the best to you and to Sable,
Caity and the non-stop nine
