Insulinoma is a cancer of the cells which produce insulin, or the pancreatic beta cells. These tiny
tumors produce excesive amounts of insulin ,which drives blood sugar into the bodies cells at a far
to rapid rate.
Some common symptoms are: Stopping and staring blankly for several moments,
Foaming and pawing at the mouth, Being weak in the hind end, entering a comatose state, and
seizures. Insulinoma will not commonly interfere with eating habits.
As this disease advances the symptoms will become more common and more severe, until the
ferret goes into a permanent coma and passes away. This can be controlled so if your ferret has
been exhibiting any of these symptoms please take them to your vet right away.
