Each visit for cats should also include a fecal exam and complete physical. Kittens should be checked for feline leukemia and FIV during this series. The disease affects the immune system. We recommend testing all cats, and any cat who even steps outside should be vaccinated for this disease. Owners of cats that spend all of the time indoors may chose to vaccinate just in case kitty ever slips outside, so there's one less thing to worry about if he or she gets attacked by another cat while out of doors.
Ferrets are susceptible to many diseases of dogs and cats.
They do not encounter too many viruses because of their lifestyles, but there are two vaccines all ferrets need. These are Canine distemper and Rabies. Young ferrets need three doses of the distemper vaccine and then annual boosters are recommended. Rabies vaccination is required by law annually. When we do a fecal exam, we are looking for the eggs shed by adult worms.
