To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Hi Maria,

I've enrolled mine in the study. Dr. Heller needs to know the type of
distemper vaccination they had, as well as the date because the blood
sample drawn has to be as close to the anniversary date of their last
vaccination as possible. Since mine are all rescues, I called the
clinics I knew last saw the ferrets and asked them what type of
distemper vaccination had been used.

You donate $10.00 per ferret to the American Ferret Association and
they pay Cornell for the analysis. Cornell sends the results to Dr.
Heller and then you contact her for the results. Takes about 2 weeks.
However, you are responsible to pay for the blood draw that your vet
would do and any veterinary costs involved with shipping the sample to
Cornell.

My next group are due in October since that is the anniversary date of
their last vaccination.

Tressie
