It is hard to say it is encephalitis unless there is a spinal tap, but the symptoms really sound like it. I know in humans there are viral and bacterial types, with Viral being the worst. I had it so I speak first hand. The mortality rate is high in humans for certain types. I hope the little dog is under the care of a specialist. Many times if it is caught early, they can make a complete recovery. Never count the little dog out. Best of luck. |
