My ferret before the three I have now got out and was recovered by the
humane society. In the process he bit someone. I had to talk to the guy
from the health dept before I got him back. I told him that Patch was
regularly vaccinated and he called our vet to verify that. Only then did
he tell us we could do the 14 day quarantine at home.
