Take a poop with you for a fecal exam. Marshall gives their ferrets 1 distemper shot. They need another at about 9 weeks and a third at 13 weeks. At 14 or 15 weeks they need a rabies shot. I'm guessing you don't have or haven't read "Ferrets For Dummies". It's a great book and has this info in it. -- Russ, Booger, Bonnie & Clyde [log in to unmask] URA Redneck if you've ever named a child for a good dog. [Posted in FML issue 3761]
