WEIL’S DISEASE
Edward Cook
Any protection you can give ferrets to prevent them falling foul of Weil’s Disease has got to be money well spent.

If you rely on ferrets to either provide you with sport, or in my case pest control, then you should look after them 100% of the time.

Anything less and you are not worthy of keeping such pocket-sized warriors!

Nothing is fool proof of course, and sometimes inoculations don’t always work… but if you think anything of your ferrets then it’s got to be worth doing.
