Hey,
 
Sad to announce there was a case of distemper in a 6 month old kit in
Gainsville,Florida.The kit then went to a College Vet then a private Vet
somewhere between there and Sebring,Florida.The ferret passed away at the
Vets' office.He never did show the classic signs.A Shelter in Sebring
kept the kit for a time,after it was ill.Here,I was told, precautions
were taken.(gloves,aprons & sprays) If you want further info i will be
happy to share this further,offline.
 
This is a Tragic, Scarey story & i hope it reminds us all to make sure
all our pets are u/t/d on all Vaccinations.The poor owner is suffering,
terribly.  RIP our poor lil guy.......
 
With Love,
Tara
