Colds are a very common thing for people, and Tibetan Mastiffs can also catch colds. So what should Tibetan Mastiffs do if they catch a cold? Especially in winter, when the seasons change, and when the air conditioner is turned on in summer, sometimes even taking a bath will cause a cold and cough. Today we will talk about what are the symptoms of a cold in Tibetan Mastiffs? What are the similar symptoms and how are they different from colds?

Tibetan Mastiff cold symptoms:

1. The Tibetan Mastiff is in poor spirits, sluggish and likes to lie down;

2. If the Tibetan Mastiff has a runny nose, please note that it is watery, not purulent or colored.

3. Tibetan Mastiffs can sneeze and cough, and coughing is very similar to canine distemper, canine parainfluenza, and bronchitis.

4. The Tibetan Mastiff has conjunctival congestion, tearing, and loss of appetite, which is similar to canine plague;

5. The body temperature of Tibetan Mastiffs is elevated, generally 39~40°C. The normal body temperature measured by rectum for adult dogs is 37.5~38.5°C, and for puppies is 38~39°C;

The difference between similar illnesses and colds:

1. The early symptoms of many infectious diseases are very similar to those of a cold. For example, the early symptoms of warm fever in dogs and the early symptoms of parvovirus disease are generally clinically characterized by elevated body temperature, sneezing, blurry eyes, and watery nasal discharge. Due to lack of experience, some owners tend to treat several common serious infectious diseases as colds, thus causing misdiagnosis and wrong treatment measures, leading to serious consequences of the death of Tibetan Mastiffs.

2. False colds are generally more common in the early stages of infectious diseases. In fact, there are other special symptoms. When a Tibetan Mastiff is infected with Canine Warm Virus and becomes ill, the body temperature is usually bidirectional, with the body temperature rising and falling. Most sick Tibetan Mastiff dogs have symptoms of eye droppings. In the early stage of parvovirus, it is mainly accompanied by major symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, and usually vomiting first and then diarrhea. As long as the owner can observe carefully, he can still distinguish and judge.

Treatment methods for Tibetan Mastiff colds:

1. Cold granules: If your Tibetan Mastiff is very large, weighing more than 80 pounds, you can use it as an adult. My current Tibetan Mastiff weighs 30 pounds, and I usually drink half a bag each time, twice a day. If your Tibetan Mastiff is very small, anyway, with a mild medicine like cold granules, a little more is not a big problem.

2. Antiviral oral liquid, one tube at a time for Tibetan Mastiff, twice a day.

3. Amoxicillin: 10-20 mg/kg body weight, 2-3 times a day, for Tibetan Mastiffs for 5 days.

4. You can feed the Tibetan Mastiff some radishes, drink some ginger soup, brown sugar tea, eat less salt, and mix some honey in the dog food.

5. Massage the Tibetan Mastiff’s nose and whole body to promote blood circulation and ventilation, which will be helpful to the treatment.

6. Boil water and place it next to the Tibetan Mastiff so that it can breathe the steam twice a day to speed up recovery.
