Well, I'm in CT for the weekend so I took Nixon to the vet.  Everything
checked out.  Heart good, weight good, etc.  No reaction to the Imrab 3 and
Canine distemper in about 2 weeks.  However, Nixon will be back in Mass, so
does anyone know a good vet for ferrets around the Falmouth, Cape Cod area?
 
VET QUESTIONS
 
Should I have him vaccinated for feline distemper?  The vet recommended
against the feline distemper, even though Nixon is in a house with three
cats.  Although, the cats are vaccinated against it, and they NEVER get
outside.
 
Also, the vet didn't want a stool sample or anything, which he does for our
dog, should he have asked for one or is this not a common thing for ferrets?
 
Lastly, can ferrets get heartworms or any other kinds of worms, and should
they get heartworm pills?
 
Thanks in advance.
