There is also a group of >veterinarians that choose to use Galaxy-D instead of Fervac-D. Information gathered from STAR* Ferrets annual survey showed, out of 86 responses, 59 respondents used FERVAC - D (68%), 21 used Galaxy - D (24%), 3 used both or either, and three others used other vaccines to protect against distemper (3% each). Respondents are shelters who either indicated their vaccine or the one their vets use if they did not give their own shots. Pam [Posted in FML issue 2233]
