Subject: Update on Spike's high glucose
Thank you to everyone that shared info on ferrets with
diabetes. I really appreciated hearing from you!
Spike is doing pretty well. Just taking her off of
the 0.75 ml BID of Pediapred has brought her glucose
level down low enough it isn't registering on the
strip, anymore. I'll get her in for bloodwork soon;
my vet wanted to wait until she was off the the Pred
for a while.
I am still battling her diarrhea, though. (The reason
for the pred, in the first place.) I've taken her off
of all chicken, and have started her on Gerber's
Turkey (yesterday). She is eating it, but her stools
still just aren't right. She is looking very
'bloated', but her energy level is good for a 7 year
old.
Still looking for suggestions on how to get her back
to normal, if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks,
Julie and Spike
