             Just from having had ferrets decently before folks really knew 
what to do for them:  back then we would use sugar and 
because Fritter had lymphoma we also tried Pred.  Neither alone 
held her, but she got about 9 months with the combination.  
Maybe they should add dietary sugar available at all times to the 
mix.  We found liquids to the be the easiest way to do that.  Heck, 
nine months, wasn't bad, esp, since Frit's wasn't found until a 
day that she almost died of sugar drop.  Like nine years for a 
human.
