Unfortunately with distemper this is possible although with the age, there may be other possibilities as well; however seizures in dogs less than 6 months of age that are not related to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) often have a poor prognosis. The causes can be very serious. Also the neurologic changes caused by distemper are permanent due to the nature of the pathology. I am very sorry to hear about this. It sounds like you made the right choice, albeit a very difficult one.
