Sukie, we may be saying basically the same thing. I had read (and I don't remember where it was) that when the insulin doesn't have enough glucose in the blood, then it will go after the glucose supply in the brain as sort of a last resort, thus depleting the brain of the glucose it needs to function normally and causing the seizure. Maybe a vet can tell us more about the cause and effect reaction of low blood glucose and seizures, and what it is that gets a ferret's body to the point of having a seizure, as opposed to the less violent symptoms of hypoglycemia.
