HI Nancy-
I have replied to you severasl times so far-
We have no alternative but to go back to using the Galaxy D for canine distemper vaccine until Merial resolves their batch manufacturing-- I am sure others have made the same choice.
Merial has a LONG history of this type of back order situation with MANY of their animal vaccines--
AS we have never had any adverse problems with Galaxy D we are not unnerved at resorting to utilize it for protection of ferrets from canine distemper. I am not sure wqhat the "ferret show" community will be doing... but Galaxy D will protect the ferrets-- that is good enough for our shelter.

The FervacD last of production expires this month. Merial sent 10 vaccines of our order of 50, plus let us know that the Purevac is backordered until AT LEAST the first of the year. ?!?!?! Of course as a shelter operator this is terrifying, since we'll not be able to vaccinate any of our critters for 4 months or more. What are you other
shelters and vets doing, just going without for now? Have you laid in enough supply to cover the gap?
