Her hind legs have given out, urinating/defecating on herself, blood from vulva and anus, and panting. Trying to get a hold of shelter mom to authorize medical treatment. I think we are losing her.

Re: Winnie has taken a turn for the worst..


Well me and shelter mom are meeting up tomorrow so Winnie can get treatment. We are almost sure she has insulinoma and this is a seizure episode due to blood sugar crashing because tumors on the pancreas. It is terminal but my job is to keep her alive thru the night and then if I can keep her alive that long then treatment and she should have a better quality of life for what time she has left.

Re: Winnie has taken a turn for the worst..


Dear god that sounds awful. I really dont want to sound horrible but I'm not sure what to pray for, an end to her suffering, what ever that may be.
Poor baby xxx
Must be awful to see her like this and have to wait... xxx

Re: Winnie has taken a turn for the worst..


I feel the same Elaine, I guess peaceful outcome is what I am praying for and whatever is best for her. Ferrets with this condition can stabalize well with proper treatment and some it would be kinder for them to pass. Thing I'm trying to do right now is keep her from going into a coma b/c we might not be able to get her to wake up again. I am going to be giving her sugar water every thirty minutes and syringe feeding her every three to four hours..gonna be a long night.

Re: Winnie has taken a turn for the worst..


Hi guys I've slept all of about an hour next to Winnie's bed. A few hours ago she slumped over and pooped on herself and she is breathing but not responsive
