Cat given two lots of shots inc rabies
My vet mistakenly gave my cat another set of shots when he was just booked in for a distemper booster.

Can anyone tell me what health risks this may have caused and what to look out for.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert, but I think as long as it was a "killed virus" shot both times, it should be OK. If they were live virus shots, that might actually give her rabies, right? Like I said, I'm no expert.

Either way, it would be a whack to the immune system, but you might be right that the risk would be greater with a modified live virus.
