A Teddy with acute encephalitis can die within about an hour without prompt care. Encephalitis often comes from bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection, and signs vary by the inflamed site.
Small inflammation away from the cortex may show confused consciousness, over-excitement or depression, and uncontrolled barking; severe inflammation can cause full paralysis, limb cramps, jaw spasm, and collapse. Act immediately, but even with care the cure rate is low.
