Subject: [ferrethealth] Diagnosing insulinoma...unsure of my vets policy
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
I have a 5 yr old female ferret that has not been very active lately. She w=
as sick a couple of months ago and had a glucose check at that time...it wa=
s 73. The vet said that was normal, especially since she was eating well at=
the time. Since that time she has been doing great, except lately she has =
appeared pretty lethargic. I originally contributed it to the heat, but beg=
an to suspect insulinoma when she seemed to daze off once in awhile. So I b=
rought her in for a check up. We did a full CBC panel given her age, to to =
assess all organ function and such. Everything came back normal. Her glucos=
e was 77 though. Once again the vet said that was normal and said I had a b=
eautiful healthy ferret (she is a great looking ferret...healthy coat and e=
yes). Since that check up she appears to be even more lethargic. Unless I t=
ake her outside, she is just not interested in playing very much, and even =
that isn't for very long. I can't help but think her glucose is not normal,=
and she is insulinomic. I have had her at two vets though, both of which h=
ave said they are comfortable with that glucose number and unless I see oth=
er symptoms, I shouldn't worry. What should I do, because I am worried. She=
is just not as playful as she used to be, and appears to daze off for a se=
cond or two once and awhile. She has no other insulinoma symptoms though. =
