Desear,

I just wrote that long message about middle/inner ear infection. I
just noticed this, and read your message more carefully:

> a blood work-up (I uploaded the results to the group section, hope
> that's okay Dax_CBCSMA_072006.pdf)

This is in the Files section, if anyone wants to look at it:

Anyway, the glucose in these results is 41, very low! Also, the liver
values alph phos and alt are up; this is fairly typical with a ferret
that is not eating well. Sukie pointed you to Dr. William's clin path
paper that covers the reason for this. The wbc is also normal, so
that doesn't shout out "infection." So, yeah, I'm much more strongly
suspecting insulinoma now. Seems more likely than something strange
like what I suggested previously. I need to learn to read everything
more closely before replying! :)

Best wishes,
-Pam.
