To anon in Pasedena:
It *is* illegal for a DVM to administer a rabies vaccine to any "wild"
animal, according to my vet. In CA, ferrets have not yet attained
"domesticated" status. Cut your vet a little slack; you're asking him to
break the law.
[Moderator's note: But according to the CDFA, it is *not* illegal. And I
believe the law wouldn't apply is the vaccine was actually approved for use
on the animal, wild or not... but don't quote me! BIG]
AB, I wing my guys all the time. Onto the bed, sofa, pillows, etc. They
sure seem to enjoy it. They also pull that shower routine:
Me: "Get outta here. Gitgitgit. Bugger OFF!"
Them: "Whatcha doin'? Lemme in. Here, let's move the curtain so
the water runs out onto the floor. Yeah, move the curtain a
little more. lick, lick, lick. LEMME IN!"
Me: "You guys get the *$*&^% outta here or you're breakfast."
Them: "Huh-huh, huh-huh. He don't mean mean it. Trash-can to
toilet to sink to tub. Piece of cake."
Me: "If you little *&^%'s don't get the (*&&** outta here..."
Them: " We're in. You first. OK. BANZAI!!! Oh geez, splatted the
litter box instead. Try again. No, first drag the litter
across the carpet. Yeah, good job."
Me: "I hope that hurt."
Them: "Hope you know a carpet cleaner. My turn. Banz...no, knock
over the trash can. Yep. Good. Banzai!!!"
Me: "If...Oouchh!
#1-in: "Wa-hoo! NO...wait...Hokey Smokes, it's WET in here!" (Claw
at/scratch naked human flesh).
#2-out: "Heck of a jump, buddy. I'm right after ya. Move the curtain.
Yeah, now we got a river goin'. Oooh, and the litter's melting
into the carpet. Let's wee-wee right there, on top of the
melting litter and the floating trash. You bet."
#1-in: "LEMME OUT! LET ME OUT!"
#2-out: "LEMME IN! LET ME IN!" BANZAI!!!"
Me: "Oww-wouch. Alright then, bath-time for the both of you."
Both-in:"Help Help. Murder/Death/Plague/Pestilence. We're being
abused! Johnson's baby shampoo. Aarrgghh. NOTHING could be WORSE."
Long post. I needed it. Sorry.
