But when the seasons change greatly in autumn and winter, it is especially easy to cause Alaskan cold. So what should you do if you have a cold in Alaska? What are the symptoms? If you want to know more about the cold in Alaskan dogs, you can follow the editor to learn more.

Symptoms of a cold in Alaskan dogs: low energy, wilting, liking to lie down, watery nose; sneezing and coughing, conjunctival congestion, tearing, loss of appetite, and elevated body temperature, usually 39 to 40°C.

What should I do if my Alaskan dog has a 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 large and weighs more than 80 pounds, you can follow the adult dosage. My current dog at home weighs 30 pounds. I usually drink half a bag each time, twice a day. If your dog is very small, a small spoonful of it, such as a Chihuahua, is enough. Anyway, for a mild medicine like cold granules, a little more won’t be a big problem.

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

3. Amoxicillin: 10 to 20 mg/kg 2-3 times a day for 5 days.

What other diseases can Alaskan dogs cause if they catch a cold?

1: Fever

Fever is a common sign of illness and should not be taken lightly. The normal body temperature of dogs is slightly higher than that of humans, about 38.5 degrees, and the body temperature of puppies is higher.

2: Encephalitis, canine distemper

The cause of shivering is nervous system problems, which may be encephalitis or canine distemper. If you find that your Alaskan dog is morbidly shivering, take your Alaskan dog to the hospital as soon as possible.

There is no abnormality in the food, but the Alaskan dog’s food intake has dropped significantly, which may be due to illness.
