A Japanese vaccine company, which sells solvay Galaxy series, holded a small
lectue yesterday.  They perfomed a research on vaccine effectiveness and
safty for ferrts.  A part of the results below.Three ferrets were vaccinated
by Dohyvac-5(almost same to Galaxy-6 but not include lepto).
 
I have a few questins.
No.1 ferret was not vaccined but have antibody.
Does it occur distemper infection but not affected any illness?
No.2 to 4 ferrets have increased antibody for CPV CAV1 CPIV.
Does it means ferrets are sensitive for them?
 
antibody titer , 3-4 weeks after vaccinated
