Hi all, Greetings from the fuzzy 6 in Florida. I was reading the list this morning and a post about distemper vaccines caught my eye. My first three ferrets, (bandit,slick and rusty) were all given the Galaxy-D distemper as long as I had them, which wasn't very long but anyways....Snowball, Snickers(I have adopted them and their previous owner had gotten the Fervac with no side effects) and Dusty all had gotten the ferVac. Last year when we were living in MAryland, the vet that we took the crew to said that they only gave the ferVac but they could premed my other 3 with a shot of Benadryl. I am a big believer in causing my babies as little stress as possible at the vet so I proceeded to get Snowball, Snickers, and Dusty the FerVac and that weekend drove to my parents house in PA and had the orginal 3 vaccinated with the Galaxy-D. All 3 are not due again until Dec but I am not sure what I should do about the distemper shots. I certainly can't drive home to PA for the Galaxy-D. I just worry about the first 3 getting an allergic reaction to the fervac. I was also told that vets can order the galaxy-d. Personally I would like to just keep Bandit, Slick and Rusty on the Galaxy-D. Any advice here would be great. Also....... I think I told everyone this already but my 6 just recently made the trip from PA down to FL but now I think Dusty might have caught a cold from the air conditioning. We usually don't leave it on but I wanted to keep the ferts comfortable so I leave it at 72 but still cover the top of their cage with a blanket. He is having short sharp little coughs every now and then. He is eating,drinking,pooping and playing just fine and his little nose is wet and cool, eyes and ears look great. I am not sure if I should take him to the vet or what. My husband thinks it is a combo between the air conditioner and the carpet. we just had carpet put in Dec and it fuzzes up pretty easily...since Dusty likes to dig, Matt thinks he swallows the fibers. I make sure he gets his laxatone just to be safe. well any thoughts on either subject will be much appreciated!! Dooks, Tracy & the fuzzy 6 (Bandit....give me that sock, Slick..the best ferret ever, Rusty...stop escaping, Snowball...the drama queen, Snickers....stop tenderizing my arm, and Dusty........AKA Furzilla!!!!
