Subject: Re: Distemper and Rabies
Last year, my ferret,Rascal reacted to his vaccinations. Foolishly,we
did both rabies and distemper at the same time.We were still at the
vet's office when it started and he was ok after some emergency
treatment.
Last night, he had only his rabies shot. I premedicated with Benadryl
and waited after the vaccination. After 15 min.,he began to
vomit/diarrhea. He was given 4 injections, oxygen and IV fluids.
Again, he was ok, but it took longer for him to come around this
time. He was scheduled to get the new distemper shot next week, but
the vet said not to vaccinate him anymore. She feels that it's too
risky. I want to do what's best for Rascal and I really am afraid to
go through that again. What are your thoughts?
