Subject: re: CD Vaccines for ADV exposed ferrets

Hello Nicole-

I am NOT a vet but it does seem to me that if the ferrets are CONFINED to
an area as is the case with the ADV pos shelter -
they do not pose the risk of exposure to CD that ferrets in public
would. ALSO it is NOT law in ME for yearly CD vaccination- only suggested
protocal correct?

What does your vet claim is the incidence of canine distemper in your area.
You may have your greatest exposure risks at the vets office at that!


I would also like to hear what FHL vets feel is prudent care with regard
to vaccinations are in this type of case of ferrets with an immune problem
and ongoing health problems.
