Also have never had an injury from picking up in something over 15 years (16?, 17?, 18?). Imagine it could happen, but it's not in our experience at this time. Have you gotten your letter out urging that the new, safer Canine Distemper vaccine be released to the market? Person to mention this to (someone about whom I have heard only good things so far) is: Dr. Zack Mills Director of Marketing Merial Ltd. 115 Transtech Drive Athens, GA 30601 See my recent post on the topic for further details on this vaccine which was recently tested at the National Zoo and which worked wonderfully not only with ferrets but with the wild exotics so it has protective aspects also for Zoological Park animals and for conservation efforts.
