In comparison the other help but nowhere near as much, so the routine needs to speedily include Epi to be most successful. In a recent discussion on the FHL Dr. Ruth Heller spoke of hearing of some ferrets who turned out to be allergic to Benedryl, BTW. The IMRAB 3 vaccine only very rarely causes reactions, so if the ferrets are related this could be shared vulnerability. If they are not related your vet might want to consider changing distributors to see what happens. I recall a place (I think in IL) many years ago which did that after a spate of distemper vaccine reactions and the incidence rate went way down. The distributors had not been storing the vaccine properly and that accounted for the troubles.
