I have never vaccinated my ferrets for distemper, only rabies, but i want
to take them to a ferret event, so they have an appointment to get their
distemper shots on Wednesday.  My question is, what do I look for for
signs of a reaction, and how long can it take for them to have a reaction?
I am going to administer Benadryl before they go, and I am planning on
spending an hour waiting at the vet after the vaccine.  Amber reacted
slightly to her rabies shot the last time with a little dry heaving about
10 hours after the shot, but she was fine after that.  I just want to know
what to look for and for how long.  I'm figuring 24 hours, but I wasn't
sure if it should be even longer than that or not.  Any input would be
greatly appreciated.
