Oh no, no, no. Not correct.
Seizures only occur in very advanced cases of insulinoma. Make sure
that the blood is tested for glucose levels, if it is below 60 mg/dl
(3.3 mmol) then insulinoma is extremely likely if not certain, if it
is below 90 mg/dl (4.9 mmol), then there is a possibility.
If there is any chance that your ferret may have insulinoma then DO
NOT FAST in order not to make the situation worse.
