Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

There is always a chance that a dog will recover from distemper, however, they often have lasting neurological deficits. I think euthanasia is warranted in this case because of his pneumonia and the fact that he has complete paralysis. So sorry that this happened to Caramel.
