Hey, Sad to announce there was a case of distemper in a 6 month old kit in Gainsville,Florida.The kit then went to a College Vet then a private Vet somewhere between there and Sebring,Florida.The ferret passed away at the Vets' office.He never did show the classic signs.A Shelter in Sebring kept the kit for a time,after it was ill.Here,I was told, precautions were taken.(gloves,aprons & sprays) If you want further info i will be happy to share this further,offline. This is a Tragic, Scarey story & i hope it reminds us all to make sure all our pets are u/t/d on all Vaccinations.The poor owner is suffering, terribly. RIP our poor lil guy.......
