I had a ferret that suffered anaphylaxis from Fervac. Less than 6 months
later, I noticed that he was not playing as much and was breathing heavily.
The vet discovered he had heart problems. Could it be coincidental to the
reaction? Yup. But please read this article from a well-respected ferret
vet. Perhaps Dr. Williams will comment on this.

Please get your kid into the vet and get his heart checked. Cooper's
heart problem was easily controlled with Enacard. He didn't require Lasix.
I also used Co-Q10.
