Unfortunately a veterinary consultation or more clinical informations are needed to be able to help you and give you specific answers. Is he suffering from distemper and leg fracture now? Is he eating and drinking? do you think he is in any pain? Distemper is a life threatening type of infection and unfortunately there is no cure for it, vaccine as well can only prevent the disease. Only supportive treatment is available. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
