Hi Anja,

Why do you think that he is NOT insulinomic i.e., his BG tested low; he has spots on his pancreas and a vet diagnosed him as having insulinoma? I would think the vet was correct in his diagnosis of insulinoma.

The important question is whether he was put on prednisone/prednisolone/diazoxide/dex to treat the insulinoma? If he's not being treated for the insulinoma medically his condition will continue to deteriorate.

He could also have another condition concommittant with the insulinoma.

Is his anemia regenerative or non-regenerative? Anemia is symptomatic of a number of ferret illnesses/conditions.

What are the results of the rest of his blood/chemistry panel?

Tressie
