I don't think so. I will ask her today. She has had a ferret with a very low heart rate before, secondary to other things, but didn't want to give drugs with potentially worse side effects without more info. This sounds like it might give that info. Thank you.
Also, I received a personal reply asking about insulinoma. His BG levels have always been normal. It could also be masked by the pred, I guess, but at 9 years and state of health, not sure I could do much different here.
Thank you.
