Same here - my ferret that is going through chemo therapy treatments is
missing her CDV shot this year because of her immune system. Then again, I
have 4 1/2 years of vaccination history, so I am not concerned about her
being adequately protected against the virus.
We are approaching the every 3 week interval for treatments. I have to say
that I am pretty happy with her condition - she's lost a total of 2 1/2
ounces since December, but her attitude and appearance are improved. Her
lymph nodes have shrunk to almost normal in size.
Doc says once we get to every 6 weeks treatments can be discontinued...I can
say that I am looking forward to it as I am sure she is!
