Your vet may reccomend that Big Al doesn't get vaccinated next year or
he/she might opt to pre med w/ benedryl and a steroid before vx.

Julie, My ferret, Brandy, was pretreated with benedryl and she still had a
severe reaction to the Merial Purevac. She was not pretreated with a steriod along
with the benedryl. Somehow I don't think it would have made a difference in
Brandys case.
