peterferret 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 me uncle took our two jills to vets today to be spayed before they come in season, the vet examinated them first and said that they realy needed to be jabbed for distemper before being spayed,as if they get distemper after being spayed they will be dead within ten days.this advice got me uncle worried about his babys so he had em jabbed for distemper at a cost of £65, and they are going back for spaying in two weeks if they have not come in to season, if so then its a jill jab.i think its a load of crap he has been told and we have been ripped off,you lads and lasses on here know more about ferrets than i ever will so is vet right or do i need to visit the vet for a word in his ear. thanks in advance.

Well usually if you opt for a spay and the jill has already come into seson most vets wont spay because of the fact she is in season, so a jill jab is given to bring the jill out of season, then the spay takes place once she is out of season, as for distemper , well they usually use a dog vaccine, but i have never heard it has to be administered in that fashion. I would personally look into that as it sounds dodgy to me Quote Link to post
