Awhile back there was some discussion as to whether or not ferrets, and pets in general, need annual vaccination updates. I missed the conclusion of the group and opinions of our valuable vets. Human vaccines seem to last awhile. (otherwise we'd have to get a whole series of shots every single year to keep from getting polio and measles and stuff). My guys are due for their annual shots next month. I HATE putting them in danger of the allergic reactions that some ferrets seem to have. Has anyone done a study on exactly how long the vaccine works? Must I get them shots every single year? There is no rabies in our area and hasn't been for years. They have all had one shot only, except Kiki, who I've had for 2 years now. (they had no reaction except some lethargy afterwards). Thanks, Shelley and the fantastic five [Posted in FML issue 4403]
