Hi there. I recently adopted a 3 month old kitten that has already had 2 distemper shots. I was told by the shelter that I will need to take him to the vet soon for another shot. I'm not really familiar with this type of vaccine and I'm wondering if some experienced kitten/cat owners could offer some advice. He will be an indoor cat and won't be around any other cats (unless he has to go to the vet). I've read some scary reports online about these vaccines and previously had a bad experience with a pet passing away after having a reaction to a yearly vaccine.
I'm just wondering if my kitten really needs the third round of distemper? What will it do? What will happen if he doesn't get this third round of distemper? What is the typical cost of this shot? After the third round will he need more rounds of distemper?
I plan on calling my vet in a few days, but I just hope to get some more info beforehand
