So far this has been a bad year in multiple states for rabid animals. This is the latest with 32 pet dogs destroyed and 12 people getting shots so far in that county: <http://www.promedmail.org> <http://www.alamogordonews.com/ci_20087106> The rabies vaccine for ferrets is IMRAB3, and it is repeated annually in ferrets because testing does not exist to show it being effective longer than that in ferrets.
