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.



For those interested, there's a general article on what vaccinations to give your ferret, as well as reactions to canine distemper shots written by Dr Ron Hines.

There's also an article on vaccine reactions on the ExoticPetVet site.

It’s only meant to supply general information on a particular illness which was obtained either from personal experience with my sick ferrets, or from books and/or the Internet.
