Both times she ended up with minor nerve damage/hind end weakness. She recovered completely. It did take a few days, though, and it was scary waiting for her to heal. We've had other ferrets have vaccine reactions, but none had this type of problem afterwards. Give Pepper a few days to get back to normal. Hopefully she'll recover and be good as new. --Mary & the Fuzzies ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mary R.
