Do puppies survive distemper?

While all dogs are at risk for distemper, weaker dogs are at great risk of contracting it; puppies younger than 4 months, immunocompromised dogs, and dogs who have not been vaccinated against it. In adult dogs, approximately 50% survive. In puppies, approximately 20% survive.

How long do puppies with distemper live?

If the nervous system is affected, most pets decease within days. The mortality rate for this disease is 30% – 80%, yet the few pets who survive CDV can have permanent nervous system damage such as chorea (persistent nervous muscular twitches) and seizures.
