At what age, if any, do you feel it is safe to forgo rabies and distemper vaccinations? And if the ferret has some pretty severe reactions to both, and is getting up there in age (7)? Right now we are getting by with a pre shot of Dexamethasone, then a shot of Benedryl afterwards, if not she goes into anaphlastic(sp?) shock. -- Vicki L.
