I think this is most likely from the reaction. Was it a distemper reaction?
The bloody stools is not a good sign. I would take the ferret/ferrets to the
vet asap just incase. I have heard of delayed reactions and medical attention
should be sought. My ferret had the same reaction and nearly died. Is the
ferret acting strangely other than the bloody stools?
