Thanks a lot for your help, folks.
He's playing and eating an drinking a LOT of water because we are
giving him water in our hands for him to lick every time he wakes up.
Both injecting or giving medication orally are really hard for this
ferret. He is scared of us already. That's the reason we changed from
Pred to Dexametasone - we knew Pred needs to be given 3 times a day,
and the ferret was already really stressed out with twice a day
medication. And even collecting blood from the paw is stressful for
the poor guy.
Vet thinks this it can be temporary diabetes due do mediation so we
will keep him off medication for a while to continue monitoring his
BG. I do not think this could be post-surgery diabetes as it's been a
month since the surgery and he got ver low BG immediately after that.
Again, I have no words to thank you for your help.
