jacrabbit 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 sorry to hear that. very sad to lose a friend, even the small 4 legged ones leave a mark on our lives. maybe you should ask the vet if he can give your other ferrets a disstemper jab. sorry for for you loss Quote Link to post

noddy6560 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sorry your guy didn't make it, i would get your other 2 to the vets and get them vaccinated against distemper and scubbed every thing out and leave it to dry out before putting them back in. Quote Link to post
nercwys 10 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Cheers lads,i will do what you say,the vets it is. Quote Link to post
Guest shadowz Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Rescues and ferret keeping in your area is really worried after hearing about this. Can you please let us know which vet diagnosed the distemper and what the blood test / post mortem showed please - that way rescues/keeping can get some advice and start vaccinating. Thank you Edited December 19, 2009 by shadowz Quote Link to post
