I checked the archives and see that the combo vaccine has been used in
other countries without reported incident, which eases my mind somewhat. My
question is, should this little one receive the proper Purevax vaccine next
week? She is one of our shelter kids and this was to be her booster shot.
She received her first Purevax shot four weeks ago, followed by a rabies shot
two weeks ago (in which she had an anaphylactic reaction). She had not
been vaccinated for at least 4 years prior to receiving this current series.
I personally would not give this ferret any vaccine next week, as that will
be far too soon after this vaccine. Given her age, the fact that she had
been vaccinated in the past (even if it was four years ago) and that she
had a booster a month ago, plus the fact that she had a reaction to the
rabies shot - I'd be unlikely to vaccinate her at all in the future. I'd highly
recommend you consider a titer if you are concerned about her level of
protection, but I'd personally expect her to be just fine as far as that goes.
