I have seen most diseases mentioned on the FML but not Aleutian Disease. Do any ferrets in USA get AD. The most recent info. I have for CEP testing of ferrets in the Wessex area of England is for 1993 where 19 ferrets showed positive out of 346 tested. Most cases have been confined to central southern England although there have been several isolated outbreaks of AD in Berkshire, London, Oxfordshire, Lancashire and it has been reported in Northampton. The Wessex Ferret Club still carry out AD testing. Liverpool and Bedford Welfares have submitted ferrets for testing all of which proved negative, however, I don't think they have any ferrets tested over the past couple of years - Betty and Mary don't like the stress and pain the ferrets are put through during the test. I haven't had any of my ferrets tested - I don't want to put my ferrets through it either as I don't breed from any of them. Just got some bad news yesterday - the company that produced Kavac D has been taken over and they won't be making any more:-( The safest canine distemper vaccine for ferrets in the UK and they won't be manufacting any more. The recommended vaccine has caused deaths in ferrets through adverse reaction and quite frankly I am loth to use a vaccine that isn't 100% safe. Has anyone any ideas how we can persuade the company to continue producing the 'safe' vaccine.
