Subject: [ferrethealth] Diazoxide
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Hello. Diazoxide will be called into a compounding pharmacy for my 6 year old ferret today. She has not had any bg increase to a stable number despite being on prednisolone. Her latest dose on prednisolone was .3 cc every 12 hours which worked out to 1.5 mg two times a day.
Her bg never even went above 66.

Has anyone had any experiences on diazoxide where it worked and gave your furkid more quality time here? How long does it work for if it does work?

I have read much about it not always working. Also read about it having side effects with vomiting and anorexia.

I am looking for anyone who can give me hope that she may have some good time left on this drug we are adding in. (of course that being if it does work for her)...
