Teddy-- may indeed have insulinoma - or adrenal related
conditions. YThough not obvious to the eye considering the age - 6 years
or so- it is a common health condition. Insulinoma will cause weight loss,
gagging, slaiva, pawing at the mouth etc., Please consider having the evt
take a fasting Blood Glucose before proceding with any exploratory procedures!
Insulinoma may also show signs of dehydration as the nausea it causes tends
to make ferret not want to eat & drink.
Best wishes,
