Twice our Gabby had vaccine reactions (once to Fervac and once to
Purevax). Both times she ended up with minor nerve damage/hind end
weakness. She recovered completely. It did take a few days, though,
and it was scary waiting for her to heal. We've had other ferrets have
vaccine reactions, but none had this type of problem afterwards. Give
Pepper a few days to get back to normal. Hopefully she'll recover and
be good as new.
