Hello, I was wondering if anyone had experience with fostering strays that were pregnant in regards to their distemper vaccination and kittens with cerebellar hypoplasia. Our story is, Mamma Amy was found by animal control on March 4th and that day given a rabies (killed virus) and a distemper (live virus) vaccination. I guess before they realized she was pregnant. Few days after that she got her dewormer and flea meds and sent a few states north to the rescue I work with. I got her March 8th. At that time it was guestimated that she had around 30 days to go. So the vaccination would have been given right around the half way point.
I took her to the vet yesterday for a fecal to make sure she was covered for fecal parasites and another round of deworming. The vet said to not give her the distemper booster because it could affect the babies development and give them cerebellar hypoplasia.
Anyone with experience with a stray that did have the distemper shot that did or did not affect their kittens? or if so, how far along was the shot given that did affect the kittens? or any been there done that with strays and kittens with motor skill development issues.
Thank you for reading
