Colds are also known as cold and fever. Generally, we can divide them into two types: ordinary and flu. The cause is a respiratory disease caused by a variety of germs, and it is a common disease with high incidence. Different seasons have different types of germs that cause colds. In terms of the widest and fastest spread, it is also an influenza. A sneeze or cough from a pet dog can spread the germs through splashing saliva. To dogs, this is extremely common on farms. So what are the symptoms of a cold and how to treat it?

dog coldSymptoms:

2. Watery nose; (note that it is watery, not purulent or It is colored)

3. Sneezing and coughing; (coughing is very similar to canine distemper, canine parainfluenza, and bronchitis) You can also learn more about: whether a dog catches a cold and sneeze Infected people

4. Conjunctival hyperemia, tearing, loss of appetite; (this is also similar to canine distemper)

5. Increased body temperature, generally 39~40°C; (The normal rectal body temperature of adult dogs is 37.5~38.5°C, and puppies are 38~39°C)

The difference between similar symptoms and colds:

1. Rhinitis: The body temperature does not rise, the nasal mucosa is red and swollen, and the nasal fluid is pus-like or bloody; High;

3. Canine distemper: The body temperature rises to 40~41°C, and it is biphasic (that is, it burns for a few days first, then the body temperature slowly drops, and then fever again after about 7 days), Eyes with sticky secretions;

4. Canine parainfluenza: contagious, very severe cough, red and swollen tonsils, swollen nasal fluid;

5. Bronchitis: severe short, dry cough.

Among the diseases mentioned above, both canine mild and canine parainfluenza are contagious and pathogenic. The difference from cold symptoms is also obvious. If you find the symptoms of these two diseases in dogs, you must Go to the hospital immediately. Fortunately, these two diseases are prevented in the vaccines that dogs get every year, so there are not many opportunities for adult dogs to get sick.

Treatment of dog cold:

1. Cold granules: I have not found the specific dosage, so I can only give you my experience value. If your dog is very big, more than 80 pounds, you can follow the adult dosage. My dog at home is 30 pounds, and usually drink half a bag each time, twice a day. If your dog is very small, a small spoon of Chihuahua is almost the same. Anyway, a mild medicine like Ganmao Granule is not a problem if it is a little more.

2. Antiviral oral liquid: Take my dog as a reference, take one at a time, twice a day.

3. Amoxicillin: 10~20 mg/kg (body weight), 2~3 times a day for 5 days.
