Is it spelled Canvac or Canavac? I'm not finding any vaccines called
Canavac, but a combination vaccine that includes canine distemper
called Canvac is out there. It seems to have several different forms
(Canvac 3, Canvac 4, Canvac Junior (bivalent and labelled for
mustelids), etc). So far I haven't found out the origin of the cells
for making the distemper virus in this vaccine. At least one form
seems to be in use in Australia in ferrets:

Has someone contacted the manufacturer yet? The signs the ferrets are
showing are indeed on target for canine distemper.
