I respectfully disagree with your vet and with you. Teddy should not
have the *same* distemper shot again. If he reacted to Fervac-D you
might want to consider Merial Purevax or vice versa.

Distemper in ferrets is nearly 100% fatal. I doubt you want to take
that risk when there are other vaccines that Teddy has not reacted to
available.

All the best,
