I know you are going through a terrible time, but what you are describing sounds like little Lily may have a liver shunt. As the owner of a liver shunt puppy, I must emphasize how important it is right now to take her to a vet who is experienced with this very common disorder in Yorkies. She needs lactulose and a prescription diet to help her body rid itself of the toxins that are developing in her bloodstream and traveling to her brain. That is probably why she is experiencing these symptoms. I don't know much about distemper, but I think the likelihood of liver shunt is a lot greater. Getting her to the right vet may be a lifesaving decision. Good luck and I hope she feels better very quickly.
