Hi Deb
You have 2 questions about the 2 most common ferret
problems (insulinoma and adrenal gland disease).
I would not use a high glucose supplement like novasource!
I would recommend waiting a few weeks to a month and rechecking
a fasting glucose. It does not make sense to use a high glucose product
with a ferret that may have an insulinoma!!! If you want a supplement
to use that is safe and beneficial to an insulinoma patient, then I
would suggest using a high protein supplement like Hill's a/d or baby
food (2nd stage chicken and chicken gravy or turkey and turkey gravy).
As far as treating a prostate problem secondary to adrenal gland disease,
I would recommend Propecia instead of Casodex, but with either medication
I would definitely use Lupron depot with it! I would also use melatonin too!!!
Casodex merely blocks the DHT receptor, but Propecia actually lowers the
DHT level! Thus in my opinion Propecia is the better medication to use.
Again I would use Lupron and melatonin with either Casodex or Propecia
in cases with a prostate problem. I would also recommend an antibiotic
too (Zeniqiuin, or Baytril or TMPS).
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
