Meal interval of insulinoma

[bare01]

Hello.
I live in Japan.
I plan to have a boy's ferret in my family this summer.
I'm looking forward to it now and before that I want to study a lot of ferrets.

There is no information on raw food in Japan
So I want you to teach everyone a lot.

I have a question.
I learned that his meal would be given in the morning and evening in the case of raw food.
But if he gets an insulinoma, how long does it take to leave time?

Because I work, I leave him alone for about 10 hours a day.
In the meantime, he is worried from now that he may get a seizure if he can not eat anything.

If the same question was in the past, I apologize. I'm sorry.
In that case, please tell me the URL there.

p.s.
I am not good at English.
I use a translation site to read everyone's comments.
And now I'm writing this sentence.
I am sorry if it is strange English.
And I'm very happy that the answer is simple English.

Hi and welcome to the forum
Understanding your messages very well.

Click here
holisticferretforum.com/

Click the heading---Natural Diet
(you will see a lot of drop box titles and some titles to the side of those. A lot of  great info on diet there)

While here--- holisticferretforum.com/
you can also see the heading called Health.
Under that heading is diseases ----one is on insulinoma.

Because I never had a ferret with insulinoma on raw---and did not even know mine had pancreatic cancer(same) until an exploratory surgery(as she had no seizures)---I would not be the best person to advise you on taking care of a ferret with insulinoma and being away from them 10 hrs. I know foods can be left out but you need others advice.

[Heather]

I've had only a couple of ferrets with the diagnosis of insulinoma. What I did was I fed in the AM (always feed before administering prednisolone) and then left some food to munch on. I would then feed again 12 hrs later, in the same manner.
Don't worry about the translator....I thought I recognized it's formal speech. If we don't understand we will ask questions until we've got it right. I thought it did amazingly well. There was very little in it that was not understood. You should have seen what it used to produce several years ago....it was hilarious. Your writing made total sense

Thank you for teaching me how to use this.



And I was pointed out by you,

I noticed that I was in the wrong place to ask a question.

I'm sorry.



And thank you for your advice on insulinoma.

I will now read the thread you taught me.



Thank you!!

Thank you for the kind words.

Because I am not good at English.

I was hesitate to ask questions,

It was good to do it.



When he became an insulinoma

It is a flow of the day I am thinking.

Is this all right?



7:00

　Throw away the night meal

　Give a new breakfast

8:00

　Put meals for the daytime in a plate

　I go to work

19:00

　I will go home

　Discard the rest of the meal

　Give a new dinner

22:00

　Give a night meal during sleep



It is written like this in the Japanese ferret's breeding book.

Use the air conditioner in summer or winter,

Keep the room temperature around 25 ° C.

(Is this the same in your country?)



Do I leave food at this room temperature and do not damage raw food?

I worry about his stomach ache.

As a countermeasure, should we put a cooling agent under the plate?



Is this method also possible for babies of 2 months to 3 months?

(Because I heard that the baby needs several meals a day)

Can he switch to meals twice a day from some month?



I'm sorry I ask a lot of questions...

Japan's ferrets have a life span of several years shorter than the world.

I would like to grow my future family for a long time in good health.

If you answer, I feel very relieved.

First, ask as many questions as you feel the need to That's why we are here!
The timing for the meals looks good.
And no, leaving the food out is fine for ferrets. They are physiologically built to cope with high bacteria loads. Plus, if the food is bad- the ferret will refuse to eat it.
You could with babies, but you'd have to put in a LOT of food I'd imagine. Heather would be able to fill you in more on that.

Thank you.
I love this place.
Because there are many teachers and friends who can help me.
In Japan, ferret's raw food is being opposed.
Vets also oppose it. I wonder it.
I am very happy to meet everyone because there are no people around I can consult.

In other words, even if he became an insulinoma, it would be fine if he had raw food twice a day.
I understood that way.

When he is a baby, how should I give a meal?
I find it very difficult if I work....

[Heather]

I would suggest for babies who are to be fed 3 or 4 times a day to give two bowls of food before you leave for work. The allotment he's supposed to have for his breakfast and lunch. Put the one thawed for his breakfast but have the second meal still frozen and it will thaw during the day. When you get home, double check to make sure he's eaten all his food and then feed again and then feed just before bedtime.
You could do the same thing for your insulinoma ferret too. If you're concerned about temps the meats are kept at you can buy small dog bowls that have a liquid in them, you freeze them and put the meat in it. As they thaw during the day, they still keep the meats cooler. I used to use a smaller bowl inside a larger bowl. I would put water in the larger bowl, then place the smaller bowl inside and freeze. This would keep the meal cool and less likely to spoil

Thank you for telling me more.

I understood well.

I will try the way you taught me.



I am planning to raise a boy of 2-3 months.

Can he eat meat chunks from some month after birth?

Should I give duck soup for the first few weeks?

[Heather]

Babies sometimes referred to as meepers over here (because of the noise) ween onto whole raw meat at around 3 to 4 weeks. If you are getting your boy at 2 or 3 months of age you may be able to just start him on a balanced meat diet. This may take a little using a translator but it's all there. The links will take you to a menu, how to balance their diet, even how to make a soupy to help with a switch if he's being difficult.

I didn't know that everyone would call them that way.
It is very interesting.

Thank you for telling me the URL.
For me who do not like English, it is very important to know what is written where.
Because finding it is difficult for me.

I think it will take time to understand this information, but I will study for him.
I think things will come to a point that I do not understand.
At that time, I ask a question again.
I am very happy that you will answer again.
