Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Insulinoma - surgical or medical management??
management??
Dear Kim:
How much pred are your guys getting daily? I ask because I have an
insulinomic ferret and he is starting to have "spells" again. He is on 5mg
of pred divided into two doses per day and .01 mg of proglycem. Just
curious what your guys dosage is.
Thanks
Lynn
