Hello Danee,
Doing the blood glucose without a fast, gave you a
reading higher than what you would have got from a
fasting blood glucose test! Therefore raising the
Pred. was the right thing to do, however the amount
you are giving is still quite low!
5mg/15ml-would make it 1mg/3ml, therefore the
dosage you are giving is not quite .5mg per dose and
if you are giving that twice a day then it still is
minimal for a ferret that is experiencing the problems
you speak of!
I agree that there may be other things going on,
however as you said he may not have been eating and
will most definitely be suffering because of the lack
of protein etc.. Maybe the fact that you are home and
feeding him more regularly will bring some needed
improvement, however you will need to take extra
precautions with Mosby if he undergoes surgery in such
a weakened state!---Angela.
