Dear Diana:
In Pigs case, if she won't eat kibble, then another food should be tried - duck soup, baby food, whetever she can get. It certainly seems as if she is suggereing from hypoglycemia - I think a blood test is in order first thing on Monday.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM

> Tonight Pigs seems to have taken a turn for the worst. She was doing soooo much better since starting her new meds. Her potie is normal and she is drinking water freely and eating nutra-cal - but she has no will to eat her wet kibble. Everytime she walks she takes a few steps and lies down or falls over. IS it safe to give her some honey to see if maybe she is developing insulinoma?.. my trusting vet is closed. She is acting a bit dazed. She takes good steps and then like i said she stops and stares and falls over. The bit of nutrical did make her more alert - she did eat her breakfast kibble this morning... any advice or ideas appreciated.. I am not at my ferrethealth groups address so any ideas can also be emailed to ferretbub@hotmail.com Thank you. Her spleen is very enlarged and lately I have been curious if it is a tumor and spleen there... there is a part more exact and round in the overall area that pokes out...my vet said spleen...
