My question is this: They just had really good exams
last month with the expensive vet. Now, they need
their rabies shot. Can I take them to the cheaper
vet? Could I take them to a shot clinic? What are
the chances that something will go wrong with a rabies
shot and need the better vet? Should I pre-treat for
rabies shots?
Well, I have certainly seen reactions to the rabies vaccine as well.
Yes, you should pretreat. And you should, if possible, go to the
more ferret-savvy veterinarian. But - call the other one, talk to
them, find out what they do know and if they are willing to learn
more - you might be pleasantly surprised.
