Subject: Distemper and Rabies
I recently had one of my ferrets to the vet (he is two) just for
vacinations. He has already had these shots twice this was the
third. On the way home he became so ill, he was vomiting constantly
it was horrible. I drove so fast back to vet and they said he was
having a reaction. I am now afraid to get any of my ferrets shots.
Has anyone had this experience, is it really necessary to have these
shots. I had a ferret for 10 years she only got the distemper,
however now my vet says if I dont get the rabies also they would have
to put him to sleep if he were to bite anyone. The vet also feels
the reaction came from the distemper not the rabies. Any advice
would be realy appreciated. Thanks Chrissy
