Barney had a day at the vets, sedation and a blood test. All results were in the normal range. Glucose was still normal even though he had been fasted so I am pleased that it seems that he doesn't have insulinoma. Still no idea what has caused this dramatic weight loss. I have been advised to monitor his weight and try to "feed him up". Any suggestions on calorie packed goodies for ferrets? (Not sugary of course)

Hopefully he has just lost a lot of condition with the change in the seasons. Best I can do at the moment is keep a close watch and feed him lots of yummy goodness.
