Rabbit and Ferret Vaccines
Rabbits and Ferrets are special pet’s with unique needs and our vet’s love nothing more than visits from these fuzzy critters.
Rabbits are vaccinated against calicivirus at 10 – 12 weeks of age and then every 6 months to maintain immunity throughout life. With the uncertainty surrounding a recent new strain of calicivirus frequent boosters are currently being recommended. At this stage no updated vaccine is available.
Calicivirus and Myxomatosis are diseases that have been introduced in Australia to help control the wild rabbit population. Whilst there are no vaccines available to prevent myxomatosis, rabbits should be vaccinated against calicivirus which is spread by insects.
Ferrets are lively an very curious little creatures that love nothing more than to play and get into mischief. Vaccination against distemper is very important.
It is recommended they receive TWO distemper vaccines 4 weeks apart when less than 12 weeks old and then annually as adults. Typically they are administered with a canine C3 vaccine to achieve this.
