Treatment methods for Birman cats with encephalitis:

1. Diagnosis: In addition to diagnosis based on general brain symptoms and focal symptoms, blood and cerebrospinal fluid tests can be performed . Blood tests mainly showed an increase in neutrophils and left-shifted nuclei. The examination of cerebrospinal fluid is of great significance. Due to the increase in intracranial pressure during puncture, turbid cerebrospinal fluid is likely to flow out, in which the number of proteins and cells increases; in the case of purulent encephalitis, in addition to an increase in neutrophils in the cerebrospinal fluid , as well as pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Treatment: Regardless of the cause of encephalitis, the mortality rate is generally high, and occasionally there are sequelae after recovery. For patients with bacterial or secondary infections, drugs that easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier (such as sulfonamides, ampicillin, and gentamicin) can be used. Sedatives such as phenobarbital (2~5 mg/kg body weight per day) can be used if necessary. 3 times a day, orally) or chlorpromazine (1~2 mg/kg body weight, intramuscular injection).

Symptoms of Birman cats suffering from encephalitis:

1. The cat will secrete a large amount of saliva, followed by vomiting and convulsions. Cat meningitis Later, there will be symptoms such as drowsiness, decreased vision, and uncoordinated motor functions.

2. Usually changes in intracranial pressure and blood circulation disorders lead to the emergence of brain symptoms, and then the respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, etc. There are various changes in the system and motor system. The neurological symptoms develop from the excitement stage to the depression stage. As the disease progresses, due to disturbance of consciousness, the owner does not recognize the owner, screams when touching the body, or bites, and the behavior is abnormal. In addition, , the pupils are constricted, the conjunctiva is congested, the gait is unsteady, and sometimes epileptic seizures and circular movements occur, the vision gradually decreases, and then becomes blind and enters a comatose state.
