I like to bring the new ones in right away so that if they have
something contagious (which has happened to me before) they can be put
on meds before they are introduced to the others. So I think they would
have only had their first shot within a week of going to my vet.
There's nothing like four ferrets on Albon in the summertime.
Peee-uuuuu! The litter box smell is enough to make you gag, no matter
how often you change it.

I guess I'll just bring them in for an exam and fecal and then bring
them back two weeks later to start the vaccines. Better safe than
sorry. He also vaccinates three times for distemper, not two, and then
two weeks after the last distemper, we go for rabies.

Thanks for the input, Dr. Sue.
