I am aware of 2 different types of canine distemper vaccinations for Ferrets:

1). FERVAC-D (U.S. license No. 245), manufactured by United Vaccines Inc., of Madison, WI;

2). PUREVAX FERRET, manufactured by Merial Co., of Duluth, GA.

Would one of you very kind and nice Ferret Veterinarians out there please advise me of the best and safest one to use on my FurKids?

I have always heard that one is much better, or safer than the othe, but I can never remember which is which.

Many sincere thanks in advance for your timely help, and the vey Best Regards and Wishes to you all.

If you are pesonally involved with any Fuzzies, Tons of Dooks, Hugs, and Kisses, Ferretone and Raisins to them all!

[Moderator's Note: The Purevax distemper vaccine is said to have less possibility of a reaction, though reactions can and do occur with Purevax.]
