Myelitis occurs when a dog's spine or intervertebral discs become infected with bacteria or fungi. Myelitis in dogs initially manifests as fever, reluctance to move, and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, some symptoms of dysfunction appear. In the middle and late stages, symptoms such as hunched back, stiff neck, weight loss, and intense pain will appear.

Treatment methods for dog myelitis

1. In the early stage, glucocorticoids can be used to promote the digestion and absorption of inflammation, which is beneficial to the recovery of the disease.

2. If the patient's condition is severe, high-dose methylprednisolone shock treatment can be used, usually for 3-5 days.

3. After the condition is understood, treatment may be changed. Immunoglobulin can also be used at the same time, usually for 5 days.

4. Antibiotics can be used to prevent respiratory infections and urinary system infections.

5. At the same time, B vitamins can be used for nutritional neurotherapy. Commonly used drugs include vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, etc., and vasodilator drugs can also be used.

6. You should be careful not to let the dog exercise violently, and try not to jump from high places. When hugging the dog, you should hug it front and back together, and do not injure the dog's spine.

7. At the same time, you should also pay attention to supplementing calcium to your dog. If it is calcium deficiency, you must infuse something containing calcium, such as calcium chloride, calcium gluconate, etc., plus some vitamin D3.
