Dog meningitis treatment:

1. Steroids are usually given to dogs to suppress the immune system response that causes inflammation and also reduce the swelling response around the brain.

2. Let the dog inhale more oxygen to prevent the dog from showing symptoms of respiratory failure. You can also relieve the dog's convulsions by giving the dog some medicine.

3. When a dog has steroid-responsive meningitis, it is usually treated with prednisone. High-dose prednisone can be used at the beginning, and then gradually reduce the dose as the condition changes.

Causes of Meningitis in Dogs:

1. Meningitis is generally caused by bacterial or viral infection. Usually, these bacteria will parasitize in the eyes, nose or mouth. When an infection occurs in an organ, the bacteria will continue to spread and infect the brain to form meningitis.

2. Some internal parasites can also cause meningitis when they migrate through the brain and central nervous tissue in dogs, such as roundworms and heartworms.

3. Non-suppurative meningitis is more common in secondary infectious diseases, such as canine distemper and rabies.
