We've found Diazoxide to be especially useful for ferrets who have
pancreatic tumors but are personally inclined to eat infrequent large
meals rather than many, frequent, small ones. It does a great job of
evening out the glucose for them.
That's not to say it does not help others; most of the ones we've
tried it on (but not all) have been helped by it but one family member
who likes to eat just 2 or 3 times every day and then really chow down
vascillated a huge amount until diazoxide twice a day was begun. We
can't use the supplemental hand feeding trick on him as well as for
most others because he is prone to cystine uroliths.
