Veterinarian Karen Purcell of Londonderry, N.H., fell
for ferrets in vet school.
"I love the fact that they never grow up," she says, recalling how the slinky
clowns ran around her house as she relaxed after a tough day in the classroom. "It's
like having permanent kittens."
But ferret owners seeking qualified medical care may not find themselves so
jovial. It can be difficult to find a veterinarian who specializes in exotics
- or who has a great deal of experience with these carnivorous mammals.
One problematic area is vaccines. There are only two
vaccines that have been tested and approved for ferrets - Merial's Purevax
ferret distemper vaccine and the Imrad 3 rabies vaccine.

Originally published August 2, 2007
When Duncan, a 3-year-old ferret, was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in May, Margie Murphy was told to prepare for the worst.
Murphy, who couldn't stand the thought of losing Duncan, whom she refers to as "her baby," spent $2,600 in medical bills for X-rays, ultrasounds and surgery, which didn't help.
On a final attempt, Murphy took Duncan to get "VIBEd."
After one month of sitting in front of the VIBE machine for a few minutes a day, a few days a week at the Atrium Health Spa and Inn, Duncan is now back to his lively self.
"He was skin and bones. He wouldn't open his eyes, wouldn't drink," Murphy said. "It was horrible. My heart was ripped out."

Pet Food Recall
Chenango Valley Pet Foods previously recalled dry pet foods manufactured with a shipment of rice protein concentrate supplied by Wilbur-Ellis that possibly contained melamine contamination.
Chenango Valley Pet Foods is now expanding the recall action to include those pet foods that do not contain rice protein concentrate but were manufactured during periods when rice protein concentrate formulas were processed. The recall of these products is precautionary due to the possibility of cross-contamination.

ASHEVILLE — Public health officials are urging residents to get their pets vaccinated against rabies after a Buncombe County ferret was found to have the first documented case of rabies in a ferret in North Carolina.
The case was one of several animals found to be rabid in recent weeks. State Public Health Veterinarian Carl Williams said the state has already confirmed 480 rabies cases in animals this year.
Marc Fowler, environmental health director at the Buncombe County Health Center, said public health officials learned about the ferret last week after it bit a South Asheville man.
He said the pet typically lived inside but escaped for 24 hours and returned with injuries.
The animal bit the man and then later died. The man is not known to be sick, Fowler said.
Officials have determined that the ferret was infected by the strain of virus that comes from raccoons. Recommend this article... |
