Can dogs be okay if they have encephalitis?

It is possible for dogs to recover from encephalitis, but there will be sequelae. The sequelae are sometimes manifested as sudden weakness or convulsions. At this time, the owner needs to massage the dog more and make bone soup for the dog. Unfortunately, this kind of sequelae usually cannot be cured.

Encephalitis is a very dangerous neurological disease. If the owner does not take treatment measures after the dog gets meningitis, it may cause the dog to develop irreversible neurological diseases, such as paralysis and epilepsy. In some cases, encephalitis can seriously threaten a dog's life.
