First I would like to point out that not every on fml live in the US, there are people here from all over the world, so can people in the US please think before you start an argument with some one from outside the US. A couple of people from this site have been having a go at me for letting people know about the fact that I have not had any of my present ferrets vaccinated against canine distemper, one of these people think that my ferrets should be taken away because I do not believe in this vaccination, but I would like to point out to this person that C.D. is not a reportable disease here in the UK and for the past 25 years C.D. in ferrets has not been a reportable disease. Another point here in the UK we do not have a vaccine that is licensed to be used as a C.D. vaccine for the use in ferrets.
