So sorry to hear that Bruno is having this problem. With prompt, aggressive care, dogs may recover completely from some systemic manifestations of distemper like gastrointestinal and respiratory signs. In most cases with regards to neurologic signs (like seizures) they often persist and do not completely go away. So, it is unlikely that Bruno's seizures will completely resolve. Hope this helps. Feel free to post again if you have more questions. Best wishes.
