We have been using Neovac D since we could not get Galaxie D anymore
and have not had a shingle reaction. Some vets are against it as they
claim it has not been tested enough to know how reliable it is in
preventing distemper. At this time we have not had a ferret come in
with the disease - with Galaxie D we had two cases come in and each
time only 2 or 3 ferrets caught it - they had not been vaccinated long
enough to build up the immunity. Of course, we were also very careful
once we knew we had it, shut down for a month and were careful going
from one room to the other. For the Neovac D, they are now making one
just for ferrets and we have been using it- again, no reaction. How
much further testing they have done since it came on the market, I
don't know.
