This is amazing. I just met a woman who moved up north to NYS from Florida. She has had ferrets for a number of years and has never ever vaccinated them for anything because her vet advised her against it! She was told that if she didn't take them anywhere or outside that her ferrets wouldn't need vaccination! I did tell the woman (she's a nurse!) that she most likely should at least have distemper done as it's airborne and can be brought in from anywhere on clothing, shoes, other animals, etc. I had the same reaction...how can a "knowledgeable" vet give this kind of advise? Am I confused here? Barb and the 6 whirling dervishes...Gus, Hope, Bren, Kate, Cher and Tess [Posted in FML issue 3799]
