I am looking for opinions or feedback. My ferret had a reaction to his distemper vaccine a couple of months ago. Since that time, it's as if he has suddenly gone from youthful to middle aged. (He's about 3-1/2.) He wants to play less often, and tires easily when he does. And he has *porked up*. I mean, he always gets nice and chubby for winter, but this year he's gotten fatter than usual, including around his neck, and weighs maybe a quarter pound more than previous winters. Also he may be breathing more heavily, but i may be imagining this. I have not brought him back to the vet because first, i was so relieved that he was recovering from the reaction, and then, well, i thought maybe it was just taking a while, but... now i'm thinking maybe i should. if anyone has an opinion about what i should be thinking about this, i would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. [Posted in FML issue 3243]
