visit! A thorough exam allows the veterinarian to identify problems
before your pet may even have symptoms. We will also review diet,
lifestyle, husbandry, behavior and other care issues with you.
Rabies vaccine - Rabies is a zoonotic (can be spread from
animals to humans) disease that is most common in wildlife. It is
typically spread from bite wounds with infected animals. Rabies has 100%
mortality rate in both animals and humans.
Ferret Distemper – Distemper is a very contagious disease to
ferrets. They can be infected even without direct contact by other
animals. Distemper can be carried by dogs, and the disease is usually
fatal to ferrets. Symptoms include runny nose and eyes, fever, and
lethargy.
Fecal Analysis – This analysis screens for various intestinal
parasites. |
