What should I do if my German Shepherd has encephalitis?

Encephalitis is a common disease in dogs, and the terrible nature of this disease has prompted many dog lovers to dare not have dogs. German Shepherd is most susceptible to encephalitis, if not found in time, then the dog will be in danger of life, encephalitis is the death rate is very fast, which is the most worrying disease for the owner.

Depending on where the inflammation is in the brain, the clinical symptoms vary. When the inflammatory lesions are far away from the cerebral cortex and are small in extent, the clinical symptoms shown are mild, with impaired consciousness prominent. Sick dogs can show excitement or high depression, and even do not know the owner, some continue to bark, run aimlessly, collide with obstacles, and some sick dogs appear to turn back in circles, local or generalized spasmodic convulsions.

Eliminates inflammation, calms down, reduces intracranial pressure, and prevents cerebral edema. Sulfadiazine sodium injection 50 mg kg body weight intravenously 2 times a day. Penicillin 50,000 units kg body weight, intravenously or intramuscularly; Gentamicin 40,000 units per kilogram of body weight, intravenously or intramuscularly, 2 times a day.

Keep sick dogs in a clean and well-ventilated kennel, keep them quiet, and give them nutritious food.

Dogs can be supplemented with vitamins, and they can usually be fed to pets with large instant calcium, which contains 8 kinds of vitamin supplements.

Encephalitis includes inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by infection and encephalopathy caused by hepatic coma, uremia, etc. According to the nature of the disease, it is divided into purulent encephalitis and non-purulent encephalitis.

At the beginning of the illness, the dog was highly excited and behaved abnormally. Touching the surface of the body, feeling hypersensitive, howling, aggressive towards people. A small number of sick dogs have constricted pupils, conjunctival hyperemia, sharp eyes, unsteady gait, gradually weakened vision, and blindness.

Epileptiform seizures and circular movements, terminal syncope, and lethargy may be seen. Purulent encephalitis is associated with high or mild fever. Simple encephalitis (nonpurulent) is usually afebrile.

Canine distemper encephalitis presents mainly with convulsions and dyskinesia (late paralysis).

Bacterial encephalitis can be treated with intravenous chloramphenicol 10 30 mg kg. Myelitis can be treated with ampicillin 2 10 mg intravenously or subcutaneously and gentamicin 2 4 mg intramuscularly. When the dog is agitated, chlorpromazine 1 2 mg intramuscularly or intravenously or phenobarbital 2 5 mg kg orally 3 times a day can be used.

To reduce intracranial pressure and eliminate cerebral edema, a 20% mannitol solution can be injected intravenously. Sick dogs should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and the kennel should be kept quiet and dark. Give nutritious foods that are easy to digest, such as milk, eggs, broth, etc.

The question is so serious that I can't walk.

What's going on? Can you give me an answer?

Infusion for a few days. I just want to ask a question, and I also know to go to the hospital.

Don't worry.

Ask a question, don't worry about the need for me to spend money on consultation.

Do you have a situation of foaming at the mouth?

Generally, it is necessary to determine the cause of encephalitis in dogs before proceeding**. If it is caused by parasitic infection, antiparasitic drugs, drugs to lower intracranial pressure, and antibiotics may be tried**; If it is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics, diuretics, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs can be tried**; If it is caused by a viral infection, there is generally no specific drug**, and you can try to use antiviral drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs**.

Sure, don't worry! Pay more attention to putting sick dogs in clean and well-ventilated kennels, keep quiet, and give nutritious food. Take good care of it, give it more delicious food, and pay more attention to its diet! Leave everything else to the doctor, and you'll get better.

Septic encephalitis is mostly caused by purulent bacteria, trauma to the head, suppuration of adjacent sites and systemic sepsis metastasis through blood. Parasitic encephalitis can also occur as a result of the migration of the larvae of some parasites into brain tissue.

Non-purulent encephalitis is more common secondary to infectious diseases, such as canine distemper and rabies. Bacterial diseases can also cause encephalitis.

At present, there is no good way to use sulfonamides to reduce inflammation, reduce intracranial pressure and prevent cerebral edema. If the dog has convulsions, you can use Angong Niuhuang Pill or phenobarbital to stop the convulsions.

These only alleviate the symptoms, and no one wants you to give up, but accept the reality. Don't let the dog suffer from illness, it is recommended to be happy!

Foaming at the mouth is a manifestation of convulsions, which can be caused by encephalitis, encephalitis distemper, hypoglycemia, etc. Because your baby is relatively young and anorexic, it is likely to be a manifestation of hypoglycemia, and it is recommended that you take her to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

I don't want to hit you, but this is really not easy to treat, don't think about it yourself, hurry up to the pet hospital for an intravenous injection. See if the doctor has any good ideas. If it really can't be cured, I hope you can stay with it at the last moment, and it can feel your love.

That's how my puppy died, alas, I cried for days when I saw my heart ache to death, and I wish your puppy a good recovery.

Years of experience tell me.

That's what I should have told you.

In the last moments, accompany him.

I can't live anymore.

In the future, if there is a dog, remember to get vaccinated in advance.

Especially puppies in spring and summer.

The best thing to do is to get a veterinarian as soon as possible.

There is no cure, be in peace!

You're in pain, it's uncomfortable, let it go!

Now the doctor is the most authoritative!

It's better to take it to the doctor, the answer given by the doctor is definitely more accurate.
