Subject: Re: Insuloma
Don't feel bad my friend. I recently went through a similar situation
with one of my fuzzies. After the bloodwork, open-exploratory
surgery, and everything else my bill jumped up to around $650-$700.
I'm no rich dude myself (at the exact time I was in the process of
closing on my first house as well) Lucky for me I am on good terms
with my vet and worked out a deal where I could pay 50 bucks a week.
would folks whose woozles have had this procedure recommend it?
I have never went through this particular ailment with any of my
fuzzies yet, but from my understanding a ferret with Insulinoma can
still live a good "full" life. Check out this link there is a lot of
information there about Insulinoma as well as many other health
issues. Good luck!
