Well - your vet has acknowledged in MY MIND that the risk of vaccinating at
this time is as bad as getting the disease... so I guess if the ferret were
mine - I would wait and pray he did not get exposed to the disease... some
risks in my mind aren't worth taking!

PS - I wouldn't be petting any strange / stray dogs either ! ;)
