Canine encephalitis can cause excitement, restlessness or high depression in dogs, and can also cause symptoms such as local or systemic convulsions. Because canine encephalitis has an acute onset and high mortality rate, prevention and treatment are very important. So how can dogs avoid getting encephalitis? The following points must be noted.

1. Regular injection of vaccines

The most effective way to prevent dogs from getting encephalitis is to get regular vaccinations. This can prevent the dog's brain from being infected by the virus, causing the dog to suffer from encephalitis. Moreover, the current dog vaccines can prevent canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus types 1 and 2, canine leptospirosis, etc., so it is necessary to vaccinate dogs regularly.

2. Keep the living environment hygienic

If the dog’s living environment is dirty and messy, he or she will be particularly susceptible to infection by viruses, bacteria, and parasites, which may cause the dog to suffer from encephalitis. Therefore, dog bowls, water bowls, kennels, toys and other items must be cleaned, sterilized and dried regularly to prevent bacterial growth, and attention should be paid to maintaining ventilation in the living environment.

3. Pay attention to eating habits

Poisoning is likely to cause dogs to suddenly develop symptoms of encephalitis, such as sudden barking, convulsions, etc., especially certain neurological poisons. Therefore, the owner must train the dog not to rummage through the garbage, eat food on the ground or fed by strangers, and provide the dog with regular and quantitative food every day, so that the dog can develop good eating habits, which is very beneficial to the dog's health.
