1. Help your dog to stay hydrated. Dogs with distemper normally lose their appetite and refuse to drink water. This might very well endanger the dog's life, considering it will lose a lot of fluids through nasal discharge and occasional vomiting. It's very important to maintain your dog's water intake. And for this, there is no other way than force-feeding.
2. Fill your dog's water bowl with the ideal amount of water it should be drinking within a day (consult your vet).
3. If your dog does not finish the water, force feed the rest using a syringe. Just like ill humans, when dogs are sick, they need a lot of fluids as well. This process isn't very pleasant, but do not let dehydration hamper your dog's ability to survive the distemper virus.
