Subject: insulinoma pancreus failure/liver cancer? help.
Mystik is stable now atleast after getting insulin. She isn't
seizing anymore. I am upset with my regular vet for not finding out
she had high blood sugar on Friday and upset with myself for not
taking her to the emergency vet on Friday night when she really
needed to go.... Her regular vet said to give her sugar.. and she
didn't need it at all.. I don't understand why he didn't do blood
tests on her when that should have been done.. ..She should have
been in the emergancy vets since Friday night really.. when she kept
seizing.. I was stupid to keep her at home.. . we don't know if she
can be cured or not.. the vet said she most likely has liver cancer
as well as pancreus. The pancreus may not be working at all anymore.
and it may or may not be operable. How likely is it to have
successful operation on liver cancer? Can a ferret live without
pancreus function? I should've known better than to try and treat
her at home for so long when she wasn't improving.. Tomorrow the vet
will do more testing on her to see what can be done. She will have
x-rays, extensive blood work, and the mass in her abdomen will be
stuck with a needle and anilized. If we think surgery will help her,
then we will go with that, but we have to find more information
first about her.
