Ferrets who are diagnosed with insulinoma may need to undergo chemotherapy treatment in order to combat the disease. Insulinoma is the second most common disease among ferrets, occurring when the pancreas develops multiple small tumors on the insulin-producing cells.

Thankfully, there is an effective treatment option for this condition: chemotherapy. While it may come as a surprise to some pet owners, chemotherapy is a wonderful form of treatment that can cure a ferret of insulinoma, especially if the disease is caught at an early stage.
