Subject: [ferrethealth] low glucose/Novasource 2.0 ??
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Hi
A Vet (Exotic Specialist) says the blood glucose (not fasted) is low- 69
mg/dl. He never mentions the word Insulnomia. He prescribes a
nutritional drink called Novasource 2.0. Novasource 2.0 has second
ingredient corn syrup and fifth ingredient is sugar. The ferret is to
get 12ml 3 times a day.
Another Vet (Also Small Mammal Specialist- known for his great ferret
knowledge) does not want to use Lupron for an enlarged prostate
secondary to adrenal disease only Casodex. Now this Vet says non fasted
glucose of 73 is suspious of insulinoma- takes some tests that must be
done out of house. Tests come back high insulin low glucose- the ferret
has Insulinoma- needs Pred.
I would like input from anyone having experience with this.
Thanks
Deb
