Dog and cat vaccines are completely different in formula and dose and cannot be used interchangeably. If a dog gets a cat vaccine by mistake, it may suffer muscle pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and other reactions.
The wrong vaccine may cause too weak or too strong an immune response, failing to make proper antibodies and even triggering autoimmune disease.
Always vaccinate at a proper clinic to avoid accidents.
