You can add two more to this list.  Two years ago, two of our ferrets, Ben
and Jerry, had severe reactions to Fervac-D.  That almost doubles this count
of three.  I have also seen in the FML other FML members reporting reactions
that their own ferrets have had.  I think that the total of "three
reactions" is an unfair minimization of the problem.  For us the fraction of
ferrets with reactions has been two out of five.
