The dog, who is usually lively and active, becomes unhappy after being ill, and the owner is distressed but helpless. Today, I will teach you how to understand the dog's cold and prevent it from happening!

Symptoms of a dog's cold

In the early stage of a cold, there will be a watery nasal discharge, accompanied by symptoms such as rapid breathing and coughing. If the condition worsens, the nasal mucus will gradually thicken and become a yellow viscous purulent mucus. Symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, lethargy, and abnormally high body temperature, up to 40°C, appear. To determine whether there is a fever, you can use the method of stroking the dog's nose to see if the dog's nose is hot and dry. In dogs with a cold, vomiting and diarrhea are common symptoms. Therefore, some owners want to feed their dog some children's cold medicine after seeing that the dog has a cold. However, the body of a dog is very different from that of a human, and its response to drugs is also different. If children are fed with cold medicine at will, it will cause adverse reactions.

A dog with a cold should not be able to blow the wind or catch a cold, otherwise it will aggravate the condition of the cold. Therefore, during the cold period, the owner should keep it warm. First, put the kennel in a sheltered environment; secondly, put some cotton cloth in the kennel, so that the dog can rest in a warm environment; finally, don't take it outdoors for a walk, let it rest at home. Supplementing your dog with nutrients can help him recover as quickly as possible. In this regard, the owner may wish to take some time to make some nutritious soup or porridge for the dog to eat. Such as bone soup, chicken soup, lean meat porridge, millet porridge and so on. If you don't have time, you can soak the dog food with water to soften it, then mix it with some nutritional paste and mix it for the dog to eat, which can also be a good nutritional supplement.

The dog's litter temperature should be kept between 13-15°C. The doors of the dog's den can be hung with grass and thatch, the windows can be sealed with plastic sheets, and the puppies can be kept warm by imitating the method of plastic greenhouses. If conditions permit, it can be irradiated with infrared lamps, and a fire wall should be built between the walls. Generally, a dog bed should be configured with thick bedding on it, and it should be changed frequently to keep it dry. When the weather is sunny and warm, let the dog bask in the sun more, strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness, and improve disease resistance. Prevent your dog from getting sick!!!
