How to deal with colds in dogs

Under normal circumstances, the duration of a cold in dogs is usually 3-5 days, and if it lasts longer, it will last 7-10 days. Dogs with strong resistance may recover on their own in a few days, but some dogs' cold symptoms will become more serious and may induce diseases such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
Generally, if it is found that a dog has caught a cold, the best way to deal with it is to send the dog to the hospital for examination first, and then provide reasonable treatment. This is to prevent the dog's cold symptoms from becoming serious, and to avoid inducing other diseases. When your dog catches a cold, you must pay more attention to rest, add more water, and increase nutrition, especially vitamin supplements. As for the choice of medicine, it is best to listen to the advice of your veterinarian. Owners should not blindly give medicine to their dogs.

Precautions for dogs catching cold

1. Keep warm if your dog catches a cold. You can use a dog-specific electric blanket or wear warm clothes.
2. A dog's cold is just like a human being's illness. The body is in a weak period, so it needs to supplement more nutrients so that the dog can recover as soon as possible.
