Meet the beautiful Arwen and Padme! These two lovely ferret ladies recently visited Dr Michelle at our Peninsula clinic for their routine health checks, vaccinations, and nail trims.
In Australia, we recommend vaccinating all ferrets against canine distemper virus (CDV), a highly contagious and often fatal disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous systems, and skin. Dogs, other ferrets, or infected wildlife can transmit it. Sadly, there's no cure once infected, making vaccination the most effective form of protection.
While nobody loves getting a needle, we do our best to keep vet visits as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Arwen and Padme were absolute stars during their check-ups!
Dr Michelle was pleased to give them both a clean bill of health. Though Padme is being managed for adrenal gland disease.
The secret to a smooth visit? Nutrigel! Both girls were happily distracted with this tasty treat and barely noticed their vaccinations or nail trims. Of course, plenty of cuddles followed.
Weโre already looking forward to their next visit!
