Boy oh Boy do I know exactly what you are talking about. We have had 4 out of 10
our ferrets react with the anaphylactic shock reaction to getting their shots.
One of ours has reacted 2x now. No more. Our vet played dumb with us too and
said it hardly ever happened in her office. Well. I have spoken to many people
who have had the same thing said to them. I'm not sure how vets can say that
stuff with a straight face. Somehow there is something rotten in Denmark as far
as I am concerned. I am very concerned about this issue. I 'm just not sure
what to do myself.
