I will be contacting my vet tomorrow. He was out yesterday and today and the ER vets around here would have just said insulinoma and given her fluids and depo medrol, and I could do that myself. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen anything like this before so we could check out some more possibilities. I've dealt with insulinoma many times and the human grade testers I have tried have always been extra low - by 20+ points, so that is why I discount them and spent the money to get the ferret tested and verified Alpha Trak. I did make sure it was set to 7.

I also said how I had treated as if the numbers were wrong, by increasing her pred, giving her dextrose fluids, and even depo medrol which should have definitely pulled her out of any crash if that is what this was, and none of that worked, that's why I'm looking in other directions.
