Distemper is an extremely dangerous, extremely contagious viral infection. ALL care advice needs to be given by a licensed veterinarian who is monitoring the puppies.

Where were they being housed? They should not have been able to contract it if kept in the house. Distemper is fatal in almost everything if left untreated. The mother should have her vaccines. Get to a vet ASAP.

To add: If you had gone to a vet, the vet would be monitoring the puppies and the mother. No licensed vet would of let you leave with 4 puppies that contracted distemper.

There is no cure for canine distemper infection. Treatment typically consists of supportive care and efforts to prevent secondary infections; control vomiting, diarrhea and neurologic symptoms; and combat dehydration through administration of fluids.
It can be treated sometimes but often very rare. I hope I could help

My 2 herding dogs just recently got this and I could not get a cure for it so I’m currently really keeping an eye on them and I am having them segregated from the rest of my dogs becuase this could spread if not careful.

There is a vaccine to prevent this.
