Subject: Symptoms ?

We obtained a 12-18 month old male 6 weeks ago. He had been
surrendered to a ferret breeder by his family who no longer wanted
him. We had him desexed and vaccinated 4 weeks ago. He has been
sneezing and coughing since and is now loosing hair - just like a dog
moulting although our other 3 ferrets aren't looding any hair at
all.

Otherwise he seems ok but I'm still concerned. I've looked up
adrenal in your archives but he doesn't seem to have difficulty
urinating.

I also have a question about the vaccination. It was a "C4 - Protech
Canine Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza Fort
Dodge". I thought ferrets only needed to be vaccinated against
canine distemper?

We live in Australia.

Can anyone please help with adivce?
