A friend of mine asked me a good questions the other day that I wasn't sure how to answer. She recently purchased two adorable male ferrets from a guy who had to get rid of them. He said that they were updated on shots etc., however, he didn't seem like he was real in touch with the correct shots that ferrets require. Anyway, when ferrets get their first shots (distemper shots) they usually get one and then go back a couple of weeks later for their second round, correct? What if the ferret only got the first distemper shot and not the second, would that vaccine be affective to the ferret at the present time or say 1 or 2 years later. Each year the ferret would get the distemper shot don't get me wrong, but would it be affective eventhough that particular ferret never got the second shot when it was younger? How does that work? Second question. If a ferret is drinking its urine, does that mean that he/she is lacking a particular vitamin in his/her diet or could it mean several things? Any info. would be appreciated. Have a wonderful day, Melanie and the gang [Posted in FML issue 1854]
