Thanks to everyone for the advice. Here are the specifics that result:

- We're now giving her pred .4 twice daily. Marked improvement! :-)

- She *despises* chicken baby food! I tried beef, and she hates that
too. I rubbed a little on her gums just to make sure she really tried it
and didn't just turn up her nose without a real go, and she acted as if I
were trying to poison her. Oh, the drama. <g> Any suggestions? :P

- Proglycem sounds great but it's just out of our price range. It wasn't
always so, but now... *sigh* I have to budget everyone's meds... mine
(which are considerable, unfortunately, as I was diagnosed with a rheumatic
disease a few years ago) and those of the other two-legged fert in the
house, the cat with heart failure, the fuzzy with heart failure and
adrenal, and now Xena with adrenal and insulinoma. Add in the two healthy
ferts and the one healthy cat, and the fact that we all must also be fed
and housed (and clothed, some of us), and that's a big bill.

- I may discuss a second surgery with our vet. This, however, is expensive
too, and I seem to remember that the vet did remove the one lobe of the
pancreas, so this may not be an option anyway... I will let everyone know. :-)

Thank you for the help!
