[Etiology] Septic encephalitis is mostly caused by septic bacteria, head trauma, adjacent parts of the septic foci wave and systemic septicemia through the blood transfer. It can also be caused by the larvae of certain parasites migrating into the brain tissue, causing parasitic encephalitis.
Non-suppurative encephalitis is often seen secondary to infectious diseases, such as premature distemper and rabies. Bacterial diseases can also cause encephalitis.
[Symptoms] Clinical symptoms vary according to the location of the inflammation in the brain. When the inflammatory lesions are far from the cerebral layers and are small in extent, the clinical signs are mild and are characterized by disturbances in consciousness. Sick dogs may be excitable or highly depressed, and may not even recognize their owners. Some may bark incessantly, run aimlessly, and dash against obstacles, while others may appear to be spinning in circles and backing away, and may have localized or generalized spasmodic convulsions. Depression type of animal head drooping, eyes half closed, the head of the obstacle does not move, slow reaction to the outside world, posture is not correct, the whole body muscle flaccid weakness, some sick dogs fell to the ground sleepy.
When the inflammation develops to the deep brain or there are inflammatory foci in the deep brain, it can cause generalized paralysis or incomplete paralysis, dyskinesia of the limbs, drooping eyelids, dilated pupils, paralysis of the optic nerves, the biting muscles, the pharyngeal muscles, the larynx and the tongue. There is recumbency and complete loss of external response.
The majority of patients with encephalitis have an elevated body temperature and late loss of appetite.
[Treatment] Eliminate inflammation, sedation, reduce intracranial pressure, prevent cerebral edema.
(1) Sulfadiazine sodium injection 50 mg / kg body weight, intravenous injection, 2 times / day.
Penicillin 50,000 units / kg body weight, static or intramuscular injection; gentamicin 40,000 units / kg body weight, static or intramuscular injection, 2 times / day.
(2) Sedation, chlorpromazine 1-2 mg / kg body weight, or phenobarbital sodium 5-10 mg / kg body weight, intramuscular or static injection 2 times / day.
(3) Mannitol injection 1-2 g/kg body weight, 25% grape injection 5 ml/kg body weight, mixed intravenous injection.
(4) Put the sick dog in a clean and well-ventilated kennel, keep quiet and give nutritious food.
Question 2: What is the case of the dog will get acute encephalitis, what signs will be in advance Look at it fever or not, is not the loss of appetite, yes, then it is canine distemper with encephalitis symptoms, (the dog's body temperature of 37 ~ 39 degrees is considered normal) if there are the above symptoms have to go to the veterinarian for treatment.
If only occasional pumping, eating and everything is normal, then it may be viral encephalitis or epilepsy, or distemper, encephalitis sequelae, if there is a spinning, hitting the wall of the situation to consider is not a parasite into the brain caused by encephalitis. If it is parasitic encephalitis, you need to take deworming injection.
If it's just pumping and no other symptoms, it's easier to deal with, but it's a long term treatment and not easy to get rid of. First of all, a week's injection, generally is to reduce intracranial pressure, anti-inflammatory, nutritional 3 needles, 2 times a day. During this period, pay attention not to let the dog excited, quiet, often change the water to keep the food and water clean, keep indoor ventilation, often disinfection, such as poor indoor environment is easy to make the dog sick. As long as the dog is not allowed to pump, there is no problem, a week after the injection to observe 3 days, if not pumping there is no problem, if occasionally still pumping it is not necessary to continue to inject, rely on medication. Feed some sulfadiazine tablets, or carbamazepine. Anyway, don't let the dog get excited and don't let it smoke, then it won't be too big a problem. For the dog, you are all it has, so be nice to it!
Question 3: What are the symptoms of encephalitis in dogs and how is it caused? At first, it is a bit like the symptoms of a cold, no spirit. Fever. Serious after a high fever strokes have green and yellow eye droppings, half of the body convulsions, and accompanied by convulsive breathing sounds. This disease is contagious to its own kind and must be isolated. Special effects trick 1 irrigation of alcohol one or two white wine irrigation with the removal of the needle to the syringe, play a role in preventing the extraction of epilepsy, as long as the extraction stops everything is good.
2 injection serum, the major veterinary stores are sold.
3 Injections of antibiotic drugs such as penicillin Pioneer Gentamicin 。。。。。 2 at a time 2 times a day, diluted with a high concentration of glucose to reduce intracerebral pressure.
4 After the wine with a syringe filled with a high concentration of glucose to maintain the dog's energy, and then filled with wine.
5 Wish the world dog a speedy recovery, pity the world love dog heart
Question 4: What are the symptoms of encephalitis in dogs, how is it caused? Septic encephalitis is caused by a head injury or a neighboring part of the pus involved. It can also be caused by sepsis, septicemia.
Non-septic encephalitis is caused by viral infection.
Occasionally, parasites enter the brain.
Question 5: Symptoms of encephalitis in dogs Most dogs with encephalitis are found in advanced stages, and in many cases it is incurable. But do not rule out the possibility of natural improvement. The performance is not normal action, walking wobbly, drawing circles to walk, stand unsteady, wrestling and so on. Drugs at present animal-specific class does not work well, it is recommended to use human try.
Question 6: Urgent ！！！！ Seek the characteristics of encephalitis in Teddy dogs. Encephalitis is generally characterized by over-excitement or over-depression Gong
Lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, distemper sequelae, and some bacterial secondary infections can cause encephalitis.
General encephalitis is characterized by aggressive behavior, conjunctival congestion, vision loss, alternating episodes of excitement and depression, and occasionally banging on walls.
You need to be sure that your dog is not encephalitis.
