Can a veterinarian tell me if Uma, my ferret that we had to have put down
today, could have contracted the flu from me if I had a flu shot last week? She
had no flu symptoms, but after reading about bacterial pneumonia in ferrets,
it appears that it can follow the flu as a secondary infection. After I got my
shot I did have a headache and felt semi-achy for a few hours. I just wonder
if I would have been contagious to my fuzzies at that time.
Thanks,
Rhea
