To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
I changed to Galaxy D after Fervac was discontinued and I couldn't get
enough Purevac when needed to keep up with the incoming shelter
ferrets. I didn't realize so many shelters had used nothing else for
years and it was tried and proven to protect against distemper so well
(you know, sometimes I don't get out of my cave often enough). So
after talking to so folks it was an easy choice to make the
switch...and I've been thrilled to use it since we haven't had ONE
reaction in just over 100 ferrets vaccinated! Why, with Fervac it was
one in ten AT BEST.
I'm sure now that I'm cheering we'll have our first reaction to the
Galaxy D...but that would only be one in one hundred, so I would still
be thrilled.
