You did exactly the right thing by contacting your vet. Unfortunately, canine distemper is a deadly disease for which there is no cure, only supportive care, and it may happen that you could lose Bheem Boy to it. I certainly hope that doesn't happen, and be sure to reach out to your vet anytime he shows concerning symptoms.
