Four of my ferrets are up-to-date on distemper vaccs, but Odin, who's almost 4 has suffered several severe reactions and on the advice of 3 vets is not vaccinated anymore. The stray has now been in captivity for 9 days and is still showing no signs of illness. If she was exposed to distemper, how long would it take for her to show symptoms? Longer than 9 days?
