Can pregnant cats get vaccines?

It is not recommended to administer vaccines to pregnant cats because most clinical vaccines are weak-toxin live vaccines, which can harm the fetus through the blood-placental barrier. It is suggested to vaccinate cats after they give birth, three months after the postpartum period, and when the mother cat's health status is relatively good. If vaccination is necessary, it is better to choose inactivated vaccines.

What are the consequences of administering vaccines to pregnant cats?

1. Due to the weakened immune system of the pregnant cat, most vaccines are weak-toxin vaccines that stimulate the body to produce an immune response. This process may lead to infection and disease in the cat, as well as adverse effects on the fetus, such as premature birth, miscarriage, and fetal malformation.

2. Due to the poor resistance of the cat during pregnancy, vaccination can further weaken the cat's immune system, leading to weight loss and even miscarriage. There is also a possibility that the vaccination may not be successful, and it may affect the maternal antibodies of the fetus.

3. Special attention should be paid not to administer feline distemper vaccines during pregnancy. This vaccine can be transmitted to the fetus through the placental barrier of the mother cat, leading to premature birth, fetal malformation, and even miscarriage.

What should be noted when cats get vaccinated?

1. Vaccination should only be administered when the cat is in good health.

2. It is recommended to test the antibody titer after completing the basic vaccination to check if the immunity is successful.

3. It is suggested to perform antibody testing annually to avoid the adverse effects of frequent vaccination, as the protective power of the vaccine may last for more than a year.
