1. Anti-shock, anti-allergic, anti-secondary infection: 50 100 ml of 5% grape celery saline, 4 8 mg of dexamethasone, vitamin grams, ampicillin grams, intravenous slow bolus or infusion, 2 times a day, for 2 3 days.

2. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: Haida injection 1 2 ml 10 kg (body weight), sulfadiazine sodium 50 mg kg (body weight), intramuscular injection, celery 12 times a day, for 4 5 days.

3. Symptomatic**: Intramuscular injection of chlorpromazine 25 50 mg 2 times a day in excited and restless sick dogs; Hyperthermia dogs intramuscular compound aminopyrine 2 4 ml; To maintain the normal function of the nervous system, intramuscular injection of vitamin B 100 mg, vitamin B 121 ml, vitamin C 100 mg, etc.

4. The elderly in the course of the disease are supplemented with nerve cell activators ATP, coenzyme A, cytochrome C, and intravenous infusion of 10% glucose solution.

Extended: Causes of meningitis in dogs

1. Parasitic infection.

Parasites can inflame your dog's ears, nose, eyes, and other areas, and may cause meningitis if not immediately**.

2. Caused by disease.

Serious illnesses such as distemper and Lyme disease can damage the dog's immune system and cause the virus to enter the nervous system, leading to meningitis.

3. Age.

Elderly dogs are unable to resist the invasion of many diseases, including meningitis, due to the declining physical function and immune system; Meningitis is also one of the most common occurrences in older dogs.

Extended: Symptoms of meningitis in dogs

Mental malaise, confusion, vomiting, convulsions, agitation until madness, lethargy, and confusion. When the meninges at the base of the brain are inflamed, there may be strabismus, different pupils on both sides, visual disturbances, and unresponsiveness to light; or facial muscle spasms, tongue, laryngeal paralysis, etc. Meningitis in the fornix of the brain presents with confusion, excitement, or spasms.

Encephalitis refers to inflammation of the meninges and brain parenchyma due to infection or toxic factors, and encephalitis in the broad sense includes various brain infections and encephalopathy.

**Purulent encephalitis is mostly caused by trauma to the head caused by purulent bacteria, suppurative foci in adjacent parts of the body, systemic sepsis through blood metastasis, etc., and parasitic encephalitis can also be caused by the larvae of some parasites entering the brain tissue during the migration process.

Nonpurulent encephalitis is more common secondary to infectious diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. Bacterial diseases can also cause encephalitis.

**Eliminate inflammation, calm down, reduce intracranial pressure, and prevent cerebral edema.

1) Sulfadiazine sodium injection 50 mg intravenous injection of Qianzi Jie Shike body weight 2 times a day. penicillin 50,000 units of kilogram body weight intravenously or intramuscularly; Gentamicin 40,000 units of kilogram body weight intravenously or intramuscularly injected twice a day.

2) Sedated chlorpromazine 1-2 mg kg body weight or benzopal sodium by bibital sodium 5-10 mg intramuscular injection or intravenous injection 2 times a day.

3) Mannitol injection: 1-2 grams, kilogram body weight, 25 kilograms, grape injection, 5 milliliters, kilogram body weight, mixed intravenous injection.

4) Put the sick dog in a clean and well-ventilated kennel to keep it quiet and give nutritious food. The above is just a reference if it is seriously recommended to see a veterinarian.

The symptom rate of meningitis in dogs is 60%. If a dog wants to confirm whether it has meningitis, the following tests are required. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is taken to analyze the cells in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The rate of meningeal inflammation in dogs is 60%. If a dog wants to confirm whether it has meningitis, the following tests are required. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is taken to analyze the cellular components in the CSF.

Routine blood tests are performed to evaluate the dog's basic physical condition and whether there is a serious infection. CT or MRI of the brain is done to confirm whether there is any abnormality in the brain structure. Dogs with meningitis may experience symptoms such as excitement, increased body temperature, restlessness, convulsions, muscle spasms, barking, loss of appetite, and running wildly without purpose.

Meningitis in dogs is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and external damage.

1、**

Meningitis in dogs is an inflammation caused by the invasion of pathogens. There are many types of pathogens that cause lesions, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Of these, the most common is bacterial infection.

After the dog is exposed to the source of infection, the pathogen will enter the skull within a short period of time to cause an inflammatory reaction, that is, the disease will occur.

2. Symptoms

The symptoms of meningitis in dogs will vary depending on the type of disease, the degree of development, immune status, etc., and the general manifestations that can occur include:

1) Fever: Dogs with meningitis often have fever, and the normal body temperature of the dog is between and if it exceeds this range, it is a fever.

2) Walking abnormality: After the appearance of meningitis in dogs, due to brain inflammation, the dog's body balance feeling is affected, and it can show an unstable walking posture, and even the ability to stand up will be affected.

3. Diagnosis

For the diagnosis of meningitis in dogs, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment from the aspects of clinical symptoms, medical history, and pathological examination. Among them, the differential diagnosis mainly includes:

1) Other symptoms of intracranial infection: The typical symptoms of meningitis in dogs are relatively close to the symptoms of other intracranial infections, such as rabies, myelitis, meningospinal meningitis, etc.

2) Examination: In terms of science, it can be detected by pathogen examination, immunological examination, nucleic acid detection, histological examination, etc., to determine.

4、**

The **method for dog meningitis is mainly drugs**, and it is generally necessary to choose different drugs according to different pathogens. **Measures include:

1) Antibiotics: If the cause of the dog's illness is infectious meningitis, antibiotics should be used, and penicillin, cephalosporins, etc. will be used.

2) Regulate intracranial pressure: If the dog's brain has obvious symptoms of edema, it is necessary to take timely measures to reduce intracranial pressure to alleviate the symptoms of nervous system damage.

3) Symptomatic**: According to the different conditions, it is also necessary to give symptomatic ** according to the specific situation of the affected dog, such as sedation, analgesic, anti-epileptic, etc.
