Twice our Gabby had vaccine reactions (once to Fervac and once to
Purevax).  Both times she ended up with minor nerve damage/hind end
weakness.  She recovered completely.  It did take a few days, though,
and it was scary waiting for her to heal.  We've had other ferrets have
vaccine reactions, but none had this type of problem afterwards.  Give
Pepper a few days to get back to normal.  Hopefully she'll recover and
be good as new.
