If she has not had any vaccinations and is already 3-1/2 months old then I would suggest this protocol: 1. CDV (canine distemper virus) -- Over 14 weeks of age and/or vaccination history unknown: a series of two vaccinations given at a 3-week interval, then booster yearly. 2. Rabies -- Vaccinate at 3 months (12 weeks) and booster yearly. I suggest you go to a vet that is used to treating ferrets to get the vaccinations done. Hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to post again.
