Did you know that ferrets like the Panda ferret may be prone to various eye conditions and illnesses over the course of its lifetime? Talk with your local ferret breeder or veterinarian to learn about eye conditions and symptoms to look out for. Insulinoma is a common disease in ferrets ages two and up. This disease occurs when the cells of the pancreas develop into tumors. The tumors in the pancreas can cause an excessive production of insulin which can in turn cause the ferret to have low blood glucose levels or hypoglycemia. The tumors are often called nodules and can be as big as 1cm. The tumors may occur one at a time or in groups. They are a recurring problem and require frequent check-ups. It may be recommended that you check your Panda’s blood glucose levels at the age of 2 to help detect the onset of Insulinoma. Talk with your pet clinic Marietta GA for specific details.
