Insulinoma feed schedule?
- Saturday, January 24, 2015 8:36 PM
My 7 year old ferret was diagnosed with insulinoma a couple days ago. He has always been on some form of kibble and the last couple years it has been Marshalls Senior Formula. Ever since he's been in my care since he was a baby he has been a very picky eater. When we would give him and his sister treats he never excepted them not even kibble from our hands. Researching the disease I read that they need a very high protein diet, something that Marshalls does not supply, and a grain free wet kitten food was suggested. So right now I have Blue Buffalo Wilderness grain free wet kitten food that he hasn't touched. I'm not sure the proper feeding schedule for a ferret with insulinoma but as always have food always available for him and he hasn't touched it. He is on glucose medications and medicines to coat his GI tract (because he had dark stools.) and has also been a little dehydrated. The vet has been feeding him (from his hospital stay) his marshalls kibble mixed with water. Should I continue that or try to get him to eat the wet kitten food or both? And how many times a day?
