Subject: Surgery for Insulinoma
Hi Dan. I just wondered if the surgery you mentioned is on his
spleen or what exactly?? My 4 years old boy also has Insulinoma and
he has been diagnosed for about 5 or 6 months. I have not had
surgery done on him. He is just on Prednisone. He has his ups and
downs but the Pred. seems to be doing just fine. The vet orginally
had said something about removing his spleen but Griffin was not a
very well little ferret at the time. I have had 2 sets of X-Rays
done though and neither of them have shown tumors anywhere.
Obviously he has them somewhere. Luckily they are not massed
anywhere to show. I am not a vet so I know that I might have my
terminology wrong or even my way of thinking wrong. But I just
wanted to let you know that so far, for my boy, so good. He has
gained all his weight back:) and runs and plays with my 2 girls.
