Subject: RE: [ferrethealth] Re: New Insulinoma diagnosis
My 6 yr old Cheese had insulinoma surgery Sept 28 and was put on Diazoxide
Oct 14 as his blood sugar was still low. At first I didn't see much effect,
and he didn't seem to be w whole lot different than before surgery but after
being on it now for 7 weeks he is doing wonderful. He's bouncy, bright eyed
and bushy tailed, has good poops and a good appetite. It's not cheap,
actually I call it Cheese's liquid gold but it sure is worth it to see him
so happy and healthy.
