| | Insulinoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most patients with benign insulinomas can be cured with surgery. | | | The definitive management is surgical removal of the insulinoma. | | | During surgery to remove an insulinoma, an intra-operative ultrasound can sometimes localize the tumour, which helps guide the surgeon in the operation. |

| | Ferret Insulinoma FAQ |
| | The proper management of insulinoma without surgery, treating with medication, should keep the ferret relatively free of attacks. | | | But with unmanaged insulinoma, you may lose the ferret without the surgery. | | | However, keep in mind that if the tumor is not solitary but spread throughout the pancreas, it may not buy you much time. |

| | But because the medical management of insulinoma fails after a period of time, surgery early in the disease is the better option. | | | About half of the cases of insulinoma can be permanently cured with surgery. | | | The first line drug of choice is prednisone or prednisolone. |

| | These factors may in some way play a part in the development and expression of insulinoma in the ferret, but as of this writing no research has been conducted to study the significance of these observations. | | | Owners may observe no symptoms in the very early stages of insulinoma because, at first, the ferret's body tries to control the hypoglycemic periods with counter-regulatory measures of its own. | | | On the other hand, a geriatric ferret with no other health problems might benefit from insulinoma surgery. |

| | While we all know that surgery is still the best method to treat insulinoma, there are many, many animals for whom surgery is not an option and require prednisone to control their hypoglycemia. | | | This mixture is especially helpful in cases where adrenal problems are present and corrective surgery is not an option or has already been done and further surgeries are not desired. | | | As we have already discussed today, ferrets are a relatively steroid resistant species, which is of benefit in light of the vast numbers of animals on it chronically for IBD, EE, insulinoma, and a number of other conditions. |
