To Melanie Pacella:

Melanie - although I don't recommend it - the SK-B vaccine is probably
effective in protecting your ferrets against distemper. I don't see a need to
rush right out and revaccinate unless your ferrets are exposed to distemper or
a lot of strange animals on a regular basis, or you need the documentation for
a show.
Let's make sure that we use ferret-approved vaccines, but also realize
that most other chicken cell-line vaccines approved for dogs and cats can also
do the trick in a pinch.
