I recently took my furbabies in for their distemper vaccines. One
of my boys
reacted severly to Fervac. After the experience, thinking I had
almost
killed my baby, my gut feeling is to never vaccinate him again.
However
there is pressure to vaccinate for Rabies for legal reasons.



Many ferrets that react to one vaccine do not react to the other.
Definitely
pretreat, but I would recommend that you do vaccinate against
rabies.
