IRC:
As an addition to the excellent description Christine Code gave of IRC, I'd
like to mention that you don't absolutely need IRC-specific software. There
are a few machines which will let you telnet to them and then run IRC from
there. They do tend to be very busy, though. For more information, see the
IRC FAQ, <http://www.kei.com/irc.html>.
VACCINATIONS:
No flame intended, but I really thought the FAQ was pretty clear on this.
It says:
| Subject: (8.2) What vaccinations will my ferret need, and when?
|
| Fervac-D or Fromm-D canine distemper vaccine
| Kits should get three shots, four weeks apart, with the last one
| no earlier than 14 weeks. (Some vets recommend four shots, three
| weeks apart, instead. Two is not enough.) Then a yearly booster
| shot. Although rabies gets more press, the canine distemper
| vaccine is much more important for your ferret's health.
| [...]
|
| Imrab rabies vaccine
| One vaccination at 14-16 weeks, then boosters yearly. This is the
| same rabies vaccine that's used for dogs and cats, so your vet
| should have it around. It's good for three years in cats, but
| only one year in ferrets, mainly because the company hasn't done
| tests to see how long it lasts in ferrets.
WEASELWARE:
This is the last call for holiday orders for the ferret-related stuff I
offer for sale. (See either ad issue for more information.) I'm leaving
town for a week on Tuesday (flying Continental, with ferrets!), so I won't
be able to even receive last-minute requests.
