I'm not a vet, just a long time ferret owner. That sounds like an
insulinoma seisure. That doesn't mean she can't have the lymphoma, too.
>From what I've read when they have an insulinoma seisure, they are not
concious and so are feeling no pain while screaming. The emergency
treatment for it is to take a q-tip and dip it in honey or Karo syrup
and rub their gums with it until they absorb enough of it to raise their
blood glucose. Vets sually treat it with Pediapred twice a day.
