Hi all,
As Sukie pointed out, it is best to do surgery
and remove as much of the pancreas as possible
to treat insulinoma. If the ferret is a high risk for
surgery/anesthesia then treatment with pred, diet,
+/- proglycem are the way to go. Chemotherapy
with doxorubicin or streptozocin may be the treatment
of choice in the near future.
Hope that helps clear things up,
