My dog was vaccinated. What if she's pregnant or pseudopregnant?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | 60 lbs

Hi. My female dog has been in estrus time about two months ago. I have another male dog, small with 7kg. They lived together at that time. I think the female is not pregnant, because i didnt see her belly bigger or fatter. Today i went to the doctor for giving the vaccine for parvovirosis, leptospirosis, distemper,etc and rabies.They didnt do xray or eco and they palpated her but didnt noticed anything. There is some problem from the vaccines if She is pregnant or if eventually pseudopregnant?

Just as I already answered, yes, there can be problems if she is pregnant and vaccines were given. There is no way to know what will happen until it happens (or doesn't). What problems could arise would depend on how far along she was when the vaccines were administered. There is no sense in worrying at this time as it has already been done. A pseudopregnant dog is not pregnant, in which case, there should be no problem with vaccinating her.
