They get distemper from a virus. It has nothing to do with too many people petting them, nor does it make any difference if kids are playing with them. It also does not have anything to do with them being bothered when they do not want to be, or doing things that they do not want to do. It is inhaled from another animal that has the virus. It can be passed on through drinking water, food, inhaling the virus, and feces.
Once they have it, it is usually fatal. It also causes brain damage in those who get the virus.

If your question is how old can they be, they can be any age if they are exposed to the feces of infected animals, and the animal exposed has not been vaccinated. The older the animal, the greater their resistance, and potential recovery are
Distemper is usually transmitted in feces of affected animals. The most common way is by the unaffected animal licking paws that have the virus on them. This is the PRIME reason a puppy should NEVER be let outside, on public graounds, until the vaccines have taken effect. It is also air borne, but harder to contract this way.
They can get it if another dog has had it and has came in contact with your dog and you may give it to them when you walk where the dog who had it did and track it into your house

Distemper
Distemper is an extremely contagious virus. It kills more dogs than any other infectious disease, and it ruins the health of many others. The virus attacks brain cells, the skin, mucus membranes, and the gastrointestinal tract. As for Pano, it is a bone disease of dogs that is characterized by bone proliferation and remodeling.
Canine distemper virus is a viral disease affecting many types of animals.
I have not heard of goats getting distemper. Avian distemper is Newcastle disease. Dogs get canine distemper which can kill them. Equine distemper is strangles Feline distemper is feline panleukopaenia.
There is no such thing as a Human Distemper Virus. The Canine Distemper Virus is only transferable from dog to dog. It is, however, similar to the human virus the Measles. The only way the Canine Distemper Virus would ever transfer to humans is if the virus would be given "new instructions", and mutate. Antibiotics do not work on virus' so there is no cure to CDV, only prevention (by vaccination).
Distemper in cattle is caused by a virus. The virus is usually spread from animal to animal, the virus can originate in other animals and spread to cattle.
