Vaccine Reactions in Ferrets
If they are going to happen, vaccine reactions usually occur within 1-30 minutes from the vaccination being administered. Some of the symptoms include: Depression Looking glassy-eyed Panting Quivering Vomiting Diarrhea
If left untreated, your ferret could collapse or have a seizure before falling into a coma and dying. Some vets might recommend that you stay in the veterinary clinic for approximately 15-30 minutes after your ferret has had a vaccination to ensure that it doesn’t have an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
