Subject: Hei Jyo Shin has passed on
Hei Jyo Shin, my 5ish non-MF rescued neutered male ferret passed on
early this morning with the vet at her house. He had insulinoma,
which was treated first with pred and then with surgery which didn't
clear it totally up but helped, so he was put back on pred. Then he
suddenly became diabetic a couple months after the surgery, was taken
off the pred but his blood glucose levels didn't go down at all
(450's). His insulin was on order when he took a turn for the worse
this weekend and his blood glucose went up to 600+. He went in to
the vet monday morning and didn't make it through the night. He was
given insulin and antibiotics and IV fluids monday which brought his
BG down to 470ish, but i think his little body was just too tired.
his vet is wonderful, and she made his last year much better. He
will be missed.
