Mary, You stated that Galaxy D "WAS" tested on ferrets to resurch it's effectiveness in protecting them against the canine distemper virus. That the test "DID" prove effective in proving that Galaxy D was an "EFFECTIVE". You stated that they tested exposed ferrets 5-21 weeks after exposer and that the ones vaccinated with Galaxy D "ALL SURVIVED" and the others ALL died. You also stated a while ago that Galaxy D was "NEVER" tested on ferrets to check for the effectiveness in guarding against canine distemper. It's nice to see that you have now changed your statement. It doesn't really matter how long the vaccine was tested, the "FACT IS" it was "TESTED" on ferrets, and that it "WAS PROVED" to be effevtive in guarding ferrets against the canine distemper virus. Whether or not AFA excepts this vaccine is your choice, But the public has the right to know that Galaxy D "WAS TESTED" and was found to provide protection against the canine distemper virus "IN FERRETS". Thank you for providing the fact that Galaxy D "DOES" protect our babies against this dreaded virus. [DV] [Posted in FML issue 5116]
