Ok, so. I'm asking this for a friend who's pretty much spazzing out at the moment. :x .
Long story short, she's got two rabbits out in her garage whom she'd had for about 5 and 6 years respectfully, loves those rabbits, brings them inside and let's them run around the house (one at a time because ones male and the other is female lol). They play with her dog, her cats etc . Anyway about two weeks ago, she took in a stray cat and since she has existing cats in the house, she kept it in her garage with the rabbits. Cat looked healthy for about 3 days, then stopped eating, got real skinny, then started "aimless shambling" all in the course of about a week. She went out and checked the cat two days ago and said it was literally a breathing skeleton with skin draped over. So she took it to the vet and left it there to be PTS, obviously not being attached, she didn't stay and because she handed it over as a stray, she wasn't charged. Anyhow, the vet called her yesterday and I guess the cat tested positive for Distemper. So now she's spazzing out over her dog and her own cats, because apparently cats and dogs can interchange the same form of distemper between each other, even though her dog and cats have all their shots. She's also worried about her rabbits, which were in the same space as the cat, getting sick.
