Mine just got their yearly vaccinations (I only agree to the one for distemper, not rabies) and my vet gives that in their scruff/shoulder area. The two newer ones I took home (actually I was only supposed to be babysitting, but the person said I could just keep them) had ear mites and so everyone had to get another shot for that, which also was in their scruff. I've never seen a vet give ferret vaccines in their legs, that would be difficult and I would think more painful to them. ~Sherry [Posted in FML issue 4428]
