why not insulinoma? the glucose is comatose low. If that is an accurate glucose number.
The anemia can be from a number of things, or just from so little a sample it was diluted a bit.
I guess insulinoma can be called cancer.
How is he now?

Nothing has changed much in way of routine, but last month Blade started staggering and would just flop over. We checked his glucose and doc said it was within normal range. One day, I found Blade laying with his head hanging out of his hammy and he was drooling, sign of insulinoma right?? Well, I thought he was in a coma because he wouldn't move and his body was getting very cool to the touch. He came to but was very lathargic. We rushed him to the vet and the doc said that he was fainting. They did a blood work up on him and all the vet could tell me was that he is anemic and has some kind of cancer. Here are the results of his blood work.
GLUCOSE 3 120 - 144 mg/dL L
I cant make any sense of any of this and I don't like just hearing that he has cancer!!
Thanks,
