Dogs, like humans, can also catch colds and fevers, but due to our lack of basic knowledge about pets, we don’t know how to correctly deal with dog colds. Therefore, we hope that through articles on popular science about animal diseases, we can help more pet owners understand their pets and take care of their pets’ health.

How to tell if your dog has a cold?

When a dog appears depressed, trembles, eats little or even doesn’t eat, and the body temperature exceeds 40°C through rectal temperature measurement, it can be judged as a cold.

If your dog has a cold, what medicine is better?

The treatment of dog colds is generally divided into heat-clearing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-infection. Next, we will explain the key to treatment and medication based on the specific symptoms of dogs.

1. Clear away heat and reduce inflammation

Use antipyretic analgesics and administer them according to the size of the dog. The general dosage needs to be controlled between 0.5-2 ml. If the body temperature is higher than 40°C, it is not much. Only take a quarter or more of human cold medicine. A dose of between one-half and one-half can also help dogs clear up their cold troubles. Special reminder: when your dog has rough breathing sounds or severe coughing, you must go to the pet hospital for treatment in time;

　2. Anti-complicated infection

Using 400,000 to 800,000 units of penicillin for intramuscular injection twice a day can achieve the effect of fighting against infections. Others such as ciprofloxacin and cephalosporin can also play a role in fighting against infections. However, it is still recommended to use penicillin.

How to prevent dogs from catching colds?

1. The ground where the dog lives must be dry. In cold weather, warm items must be placed under the dog;

2. The quality of the diet needs to ensure balanced nutrition, while increasing the dog’s effective direct sunlight exposure and allowing the dog to have appropriate exercise.

Summary:

Dog illness affects pet owners' anxiety and nervousness. It proves from the side that we pet owners need to know as much common sense about pets as possible in order to better care for our pets and avoid indiscriminate medical treatment due to anxiety, which will lead to the worsening of the disease.
