Hi everyone been awhile since I posted, just had an experience that made me think I should remind all the new ferret owners to keep all new animals away from the ferrets (no matter how healthy they look) for at least 2 weeks. I was recently called by my local pound to foster a little siamese kitten about 2 weeks old and mommy wasn't nursing them. The pound called knowing I almost always will help out and that I have several siamese myself, I picked up the kitten that afternoon, knowing she was too young to have her first shots, I picked up a wormer and took her home. Muffin was a great kitten, but for some reason my oldest fuzz butt kept attacking her when out, even tried diggin under the bathroom door to get to her. The time they met my son forgot to reclose the bathroom door and out she came. Good for us there were no fluid exchanges, 10 day after bringing muffin home she started throwing up 30 min later had some seizures and 2 hrs later was dead, it turned out muffin had distemper, I was upset to find out the pound suspected as much 2 days after I took her and the other kittens started dying off, but never notified me. All my fuzzies are current on vaccinations even though they nor my kitties ever go outside, and I had to bleach the whole house one of my older cats contracted it but due to age and vaccinations all she did was vommit for 2 days and is now better, had to take everyone in for boosters (expensive). So just a friendly reminder to keep up on those vaccinations no telling when they will need them and to keep all new pets seperated for about 2 weeks. Nikie [Posted in FML issue 3132]
