If a three-month-old puppy has a cold, it is recommended to feed it some veterinary cold granules. Since the puppy's immunity is reduced at this time, it is recommended to take oral antibiotics to prevent secondary infection. If the puppy has a cough, it needs to be fed cough medicine. If the puppy has a fever, physical methods can be used to cool it down at first. If the temperature cannot be lowered, veterinary antipyretic drugs need to be used to cool it down.

How to care for puppies with colds:

1. You can prepare some cold medicine for your dog, such as isatis granules, or take it according to the doctor's advice.

2. Drink more water to speed up body metabolism.

3. If the dog is accompanied by a fever (39.2℃), you can do physical cooling (alcohol wipe: abdomen, foot pads, auricles, inner thigh groin)

4. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition. Dogs will have varying degrees of appetite loss during the disease period. It is recommended that owners give their dogs food that is nutritionally comprehensive and balanced and more palatable.

5. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the dog’s living environment. At this time, the dog’s resistance is reduced, and secondary infection with other pathogenic microorganisms should be avoided as much as possible.

6. In daily life, owners should pay more attention to the status of their dogs so that they can take appropriate measures in a timely manner.
