Thank you to all responded to my email on the rabies vaccination question. I wish I had asked earlier though so I could actually read the responses before getting there and not after I get home. It was almost a disaster. Roo - 1.17 lbs. Bandit - 1.55 lbs. Oddball 1.20 lbs. All vaccinated for rabies and distemper and over-all checkup was very healthy. Bandit had a reaction to the vaccine! More than half-way home from the vet who does my exotics and ferrets (I live 73 miles from there), Bandit started having bloody diarrhea. I only waited 10 mins not listening to my better judgment or the others who have said to wait at least a half an hour. The vet said most reactions come on after about 10 mins so he should be fine to go home. I didn't feel comfortable with that, but went anyway. He was also lethargic just laying on the bottom of the cage carrier, slightly panting. I called the vet from a gas station with 3 mins left on my phone card and she said he needed to be seen. I couldn t get back there for at least an hour so asked to go to my local, closer vet. Dr. Phillips said to do that and get him a benadryl injection. I got to my regular about 20 mins later and got .33 cc of benadryl for him and he is now resting peacefully. Next year they will ALL be pre-medicated with Benadryl. I have learned my lesson here. I have scolded myself. I was lucky and it could've been much worse, I know. This could have cost him his precious life. They are all fat! Much fatter than when I first got them. I know they put on their winter underwear and fatten it up, but I think I was spoiling them too much on duck soup, too. 2 full jars of baby food with equal amounts of heavy whipping cream every morning. I ve cut it down to one jar. Plus that gets expensive!

Thank you again to all who made her passing easier.) ,, /_^.)///////////,,,,, \\\_#_#_#_//_#_#_#_#_#_#_#_#_#_#_&_&_ _// _\\ Henry County Humane Society http://www.phchs.petfinder.org [Posted in FML issue 4087]
