To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Her glucose is 98.
The lowest it has ever gotten was 72
To me, 98 is not a bad reading! Did the vet diagnose your kid with insulinoma based on a BG reading of 98?
Is your little girl eating? If she can`t get to the bowl, can you hand-feed her some soup? It`s very important to keep her hydrated, and as well-nourished as possible, until you can get to your regular vet.
If she won`t eat out of the bowl, try offering her some of the warm soup off of your finger. If she goes for that, try a teaspoon. Sometimes, they just can`t look at a whole bowl when they don`t feel well.
It may have been a little stroke. Old Charlie had several of them. He`d lie there parilyzed for a couple days,while I waited on him. (He loved his soup!) Then, he`d begin to scoot again. He had a burning desire to live. He was 13 years old when he died.
Prayers & best wishes.
Love, Zoo
[Moderator's Note:
Excellent feeding advice!
In private talking about this it appears there
was some confusion and some miscommunication,
also some details the poster may add in a latter
post. Hopefully, all will be resolved tomorrow.]
