I am sorry to hear about red. It is possible that red could have distemper but it is really rare in the United States. If he has ever been vaccinated before distemper is not as likely. Unfortunately distemper is very fatal. Most dogs start to have seizures that cannot be controlled. I would be concerned about possible infection, parasites or neurological disease. I would recommend a pet coach consult to discuss more information in detail but red should really see a veterinarian. Hope he feels better
