Subject: CA vet-insulinoma
Hi. I know of a ferret who is most likely a surgical case for insulinoma.
Based on Dr. Williams presentation at the symposium she would probably be a
good candidate. However, my normal vet in CA, Dr. Dawson, is on maternity
leave. I'm quite worried about this little girl because her blood sugar
keeps dropping. This is all a very new occurrence but over the past several
days, she has started on prednisone and it has been increased twice, but
her blood glucose still continues to drop. At last count, it was 48, normal
being 80-100. Does anyone have a vet anywhere near the L.A. metro area that
is an experienced ferret surgeon? It would really be great if I could
suggest someone experienced to look at her.
Thank you.
Jean
