Sue Asks:
I have a question, you mentioned those with illnesses can't be vaccinated,
could you go into more detail on that for some new ferret owners & myself.
As I understand it, as a ferret gets older, and a high percentage end up
with adrenal or pancreatic tumors , it is not a good idea to vaccinate,
also as a ferret gets older, say 7 years and up, it effects them
differently and could even knock down the immune system and make them ill.
 
Could others please let me know what they have been told regarding
vaccinations in an older/ill ferret?  This is a subject I am most
interested in and definitely not an expert in. :-)
 
Thanks,
Sue & the fuzzies
