Subject: Question about insulanoma with other sickness...
My older ferret (Tasha) had to be put to sleep this past weekend. It
was a several week battle trying to get her well but it didn't work.
I recently brought in a new ferret to the home and am pretty certain
that the new ferret (Nibbles) brought in a virus. Tasha was doing
well up until a couple of weeks after Nibbles came in then I noticed
the weight loss. My question is would the virus speed up the
insulanoma (sry if my spelling is wrong)? Tasha was over 5 and was
doing great until the new one came in...but she went down hill
quickly...her blood sugars were very low each time they were
taken...between 30-60 and at one point she went on antibiotics and
acted like she was feeling better (and poops looked better) but still
didn't eat or drink much. Thanks.
