Feline distemper generally leaves after-effects of chronic vomiting and soft stools, because it mainly damages the digestive tract, so the after-effects show up there.
Cats with naturally delicate guts, such as Ragdolls or Sphynx, can easily develop long-term soft stools and vomiting after infection; owners can give gut-repair medication and probiotics. Also, because the illness drains the body, the cat may later walk unsteadily or show weak hind legs, so provide nutrition such as goat-milk powder, soft pate, and chicken breast to build strength.
