Expert Answer

Most puppies with distemper die within about 1 to 3 weeks, though exact time depends on constitution. Not all die; a few recover with active treatment but usually keep some after-effects.

The weaker the puppy, the higher the death rate, so treat promptly with antivirals, antibiotics, nutrition, fluids and symptomatic care.
