First off - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the fuzzy lovers out there... I have read from a number of places about pretreating your ferrets with Benedryl prior to administering distemper shots. Can someone tell me how much and when to give it to them? Is it in the liquid or pill form? Child or adult? I have had a number of my ferrets have reactions and it is not a good experience. Luckly we have still been at the vet and they were able to whisk them back in for further treatment and all has been well. My vet has started to pretreat them herself but it cost $32 a shot x 5 fuzzies. Plus the cost of the exam (if it's their time) $50 each and the cost of the distempter shot $15. I'm not saying I want to cut costs at the expense of the babies but it does get steep. As the vaccine has not been available for a while I will have to take them all in at once when it comes in. Can someone tell me the procedure for pretreating? Thanks in advance. Stephanie [Posted in FML 5471]
