Thanks for the advice. I may bite the bullet and give
proglycem a try with the 2 with insulinoma. While the pred is
doing a good job of controlling the insulinoma, I am concerned
about the weight gain, especially because both these ferrets
are old.
Unfortunately, the other 2 take pediapred for IBD. For a
while, they were just getting Imuran, and that was controlling
it, but recently, we have had to add a low dose of pred as
well. However, they are not nearly as fat as the 2 with
insulinoma, at least not yet.
Thanks again, and I will check for your past posts.
