We have had it seem to settle the stomach of one with a pancreatic growth (in her case carcinoma) but it is always hard to know if what is being seen is only insulinoma so far or if the existing illness has also made the ferret more vulnerable to getting an ulcer since some ferret individuals are rather prone to those. Carafate is a great help if an ulcer is present.
