Ok, I'm not a vet, but these are tell tale signs of insulinoma! My ferret when through
these exact things and that's what he had, despite the uncertainty of my vet. the best
way to see what is sugars are like is to bring him in and have his blood taken AS SOON
AS he starts pawing and foaming at the mouth. that way they can see that his sugar
levels have dropped. It's urgent to have this done, as the seizures could get worse, and
could have damaging effects.

i hope that this helps.
