Dr. Cathy Johnson-Delaney, DVM, primary author and editor of "Ferret Medicine and Surgery", assistant editor of the Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, AEMV Chair for the Welfare Committee, and "Mother of Ferrets" talks to us about ferret hypo- and hyper-glycemia. She answers such burning questions as:
- what is the cut off for hypoglycemia in a ferret?
