To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Could you provide us with a list of symptoms? The description "looking & feeling "rough"" is a little vauge.Â
Â
What does her poo look like? Is it runny, slimy, smelly, green, brown, clear etc.
Â
Did the vet do a blood glucose level? This will help identify whether or not Roo has insulinoma or not.
Â
How does she play? Is she active or does she rest a lot. When walking does she kind of act uncoordinated?
Â
Any info on her symptoms would be helpful
Â
Mike

Here are things about insulinoma and ECE but with such
a vague description it is hard to know if anything else is
going on:

Is this ferret getting regular veterinary care with a ferret knowledgeable
vet?
How much time each day does the ferret have out of the cage in active
and interactive play?
