Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] What to feed a ferret with Insulinoma
Insulinoma
Try baby food. I make Chicken Gravy each month. With practice it takes only
about 1 hour to make a 2 chicken batch. It's messy, but my weasles love it!

I'm looking for advice on what to feed a ferret with Insulinoma. Do I need to
feed her "duck soup"? If so, how much, how often? In addition to her kibble or
in place of kibble? So far she has had no seizures or extreme symptoms, but has
had some rear-leg weakness.
I am also looking for "duck soup" recipes. I have Bob Church's chicken gravy
recipe, but it seems so involved and time consuming to make. Like most people
these days, I lead a very busy life and am looking for ways to keep things
simple. Are there any less involved recipes that are still nutritionally sound?
If I have to go to all this work, I will, but if there is an easier way, I'm all
for it. I don't even know where to find a meat grinder or how expensive that
would be. I was also wondering how good or bad a diet of "duck soup" would be
for their teeth. I know the hard kibble helps to keep the teeth clean.
I know I just asked tons of questions, and could probably ask just as many more,
but please share your knowledge. This is the first time I've had to deal with
Insulinoma, so I am still learning. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
