After my dog is treated, will the condition get better?

Distemper has a fatality rate of about 50%. The survival rate is influenced by the age and condition of the animal, and the treatment offered. Severe cases need hospitalisation and intravenous fluids. 
Whether or not your dog survives depends on how its immune system responds to the virus. If the immune response is weak, death occurs 2-4 weeks after infection, if the immune system is strong the virus is eliminated within 1-2 weeks. 
After the dog seems better, there is a 10-20% chance of developing neurological signs up to 3 months after infection. Some dogs show no signs of even having distemper and still develop neurological signs. These signs include increased sensitivity to touch, incoordination, depression, seizures and sometimes temporary or permanent blindness.
