  4. most dogs are vaccinated against distemper when they have there first immunization jabs - a ferret is not always given the cd jab. dog can recover from cd but it is 100% fatal in ferrets who have not been jabbed
  5. what vets dont tell you is that the cd vacine comes in a vial that does four ferrets. the vets up here does 1 ferret for £30.70 or 4 ferrets for £30.70 if you dont ask they will not tell you!
  6. jamie - can you not ask yourself where these rescue ferrets come from? they are picked up in fields and local areas as escapees or simple abandonment's if people didnt 'lose' their ferrets in the wild then they would run less of a risk of contracting distemper out in the field. a ';pet' ferret is usually at a lot lower risk of canine distemper than a working ferret as the pet ferrets do not go out near foxes. most pet ferret owners do vaccinate against cd virus . we do not wish to dictate only make people aware that whilst out in the field an unprotected ferret at this moment in time around
  7. i am in close contact with north east ferret rescue and unfortunately i have to write this a ferret that came into the rescue has managed to carry the canine distemper virus in with them i am writing this primarily for the owners of ferrets around the area to be extra vigilant whilst caring for there ferrets. we have hoped beyond hope for the last few days that it is not what it seemed but the autopsy report has just come back from a ferret called kenneth and confirmed that it is defiantly canine distemper. You may notice the following symptoms if your ferret has contracte

  11. received confirmation of new ferreting permission yesterday of ALL council land around our village,including highways and byways and ANOTHER gaming permit was in the envelope. this is the third one i have received in a few months. though happy to get the land it seems that the gaming laws are really tightening up and police are getting more on the ball. just have to remember to take the right one to the right place lol. the community police officer is on a cull of poachers at the minute - not so much for the rabbits but there is alot of roe deer going missing from local woods and the farmer

  17. had a phone call off the village i ferret saying they had a problem so i popped up about 7pm last night knowing there was a full moon if needed to carry on for a few hours. after having mixy in this area i was full of reluctance to go. arrived in the fields and bolted a fair few but they were not more than a mouthful in size and you would need four four a decent dinner!.the plus side was that not one rabbit showed any signs of mixy as of yet which is a bonus especially as the weather up here has been stonking hot the peed down for the last week or so. the rabbit sets have defiantly increased i
  18. sorry vin but my word is my bond - someone asked me for a jill and hob months ago, ive had a small litter of three albinos and they get the best of the bunch i have a polecat that is due to drop soon and ill work with the rest
