As I was reading the post today, I noticed that there was some
experience with insulinoma and diabetes. My seven year old,
Juneau, has insulinoma. I believe that she may also have diabetes.
She is on .6 cc Prednisone daily. However, she has started
drinking large amounts of water. I have been giving her Marshall
Farm's Duck soup mixed with water. She won't drink plain water
and won't eat her normal ferret food (8&1 and Totally Ferret).
Any ideas on how to keep her blood sugar closer to normal on a
daily basis?

Thanks,
Nancy and the Ferretkids
