Make sure to take copies of Snickers distemper and rabies vaccinations with
you - if you don't have them, stop by the vets and get a copy.  You never
know what might happen - Snickers may be predictable, but your classmates
aren't.  In case something happens, you want to make sure that you can
quickly prove her vaccination status.
 
Also, if your ferrets haven't had ECE, which could be transmitted on
clothings or by handling, and other kids in your class have ferrets
shedding ECE - you may come home with more than you bargained.
 
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM
