The only rabies vaccine that is approved for ferrets is Imrab-3 sold by
Merial.
There are two distemper vaccines that are approved for ferrets. They are
Fervac-D from United and Purevac Ferret Distemper Vaccine by Merial. The
Purevac has a history of causing fewer reactions than Fervac.

Be sure to space them out, one this week and another in two weeks.
