Hi, Colleen and everyone else,

What you describe sounds more like insulinoma than lymphosarcoma. I
would take him to the vet and have his blood glucose checked. It's a
single blood draw, it's inexpensive, and not terribly stressful. Give
him a treat after the blood draw and see how fast he forgets he was
stuck :)

I also would discontinue any herbal/natural remedies until you know what
you are treating and discuss them with a good ferret vet.

The usual disclaimer applies: I am not a vet. I do, however, have a
moderate amount of experience as a ferret owner.

All the best,
Caity
