Distemper is part of the shot series that puppies get. However, if she has only had her first or second set of shots, she is still susceptable to getting it. Call your vet and ask them what they think could be wrong.
Here is more info on the shots that all puppies get http://www.chatvet.com/dhlpp.htm
These shots are given in 3 separate sets
1st set: 7 to 8 weeks
2nd set: 11 to 12 weeks
3rd set: 15 to 16 weeks (4 week intervals)
The puppy series does include distemper.
I’d check with the vet about the runny nose and not jump to conclusions. It could be a lot of things.
