Hi Barb,
It appears that perhaps Greta is not receiving enough Pred but you didn't
specify how much is she getting and how many times a day she gets it usually
we rub the syrup in the gums as to provide a "sugar rush" to combat the
excess insulin.

> Hi, my ferret Greta has recently been diagnosed with insulinoma. She is on
Pred but is still having seizures. The vet told me to give her some Karo
syrup when she is having one. This morning, Greta was having another seizure
so I gave her some Karo but it doesn't seem to be doing much. How much
should I give her? I am unemployed and can't afford to run her into the vet
every time she has a seizure. I don't know much about this disease so any
advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
