There have also been a number of individuals who reacted to Galaxy D, but either is a good vaccine for most ferrets even though ferrets are off-label on Galaxy. THE BEST HOPE: look in the back issues of the FML from earlier this year about the new vaccine which Merial is working on. Note that letters are NEEDED to prove that there is enough market for this vaccine to be pursued. Note that the info comes through two major veterinary pathologists, one of whom is probably the world's best ferret pathologist. Send a letter! It's easy to search the back issues (even I can do it). Look under things like "Merial", "Montali", "Williams", "Vaccine". If you absolutely can't then write to me and I'll have to stick the info on that all together as time allows (may take a while -- very busy) and get it out again. >The trick is Sevin dust. Oh, my gosh! Folks, instead of using what owners recommend without first checking with a vet on what is safe, go to a vet and use what the VET says to use, but as long as you have the recommendations take them along and ask in case the vet says that there is now a concentration of this that is safe for ferrets (There might or might not be.), or if other things are okay, dangerous, whatever. Do NOT go by manufacturer's labels because a number of ferrets have been written about here in the past dying from the wrong thing being used even though the manufacturer's label said use would be safe. This is a topic which gets me worried because I've been here long enough to have folks cry on my shoulders thorough the years when they believed that some of the flea-things labeled as safe actually were but those things instead killed their ferrets, so I really, really think that expert advice makes a LOT of sense in this situation.
