Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Re: Question on BG---Insulinoma!

I've had really good luck with feeding my insulinoma kids "soup" 3x's per
day... I really think it's what helped my Cassiemonster live almost 2 years
with insulinoma (and yes we had pancreatic surgery done but symptoms came
back and I was too chicken to have another surgery done).. i think that
sometimes with the insulinoma they don't feel real well and the soup is
enticing enough to get them to eat... and when they eat regularly it keeps
their blood sugar steady..

MHO only :)
