Anecdotally, in my house, we usually see it take some initial effect immediately, after the first dose. We usually see the full effect of a given dose after about 2-3 days of twice-daily administration. After that, it might need to be adjusted depending on the ferret's behavior and what the blood sugar tests at.

Best wishes,
