Subject: [ferrethealth] Case of Canine Distemper in Ferret
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Hi All,
I am a vet in the Chicago area. I just wanted to report that I had
seen a pretty bad case of canine distemper in a baby ferret yesterday.
It was from a pet shop and was a Marshall farms baby that was assummed
vaccinated. All the signs were there so the ferret unfortunately had
to be sent to the bridge. He was only 3months old. I have tissues
pending for confirmation but wanted to alert anyone that might be
acquiring a newbie. If you have other ferrets separate them for ample
amts of time before introducing a new one to your group if you aren't
sure where they came from. Keeping them separate for almost 2 months
is the safest but sometime hard. This is the first case I have seem in
my practice so be aware. Thanks.
Dr. Sue
