Bupleurum injection can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which has good curative effect. For sick dogs whose body temperature does not rise much, it is not necessary to inject antipyretic drugs. Oral human cold medicine can be used. The dose is 1/4 to 1/2 of an adult. For sick dogs with excessive nasal discharge, falling head and sneezing, about 0.5 ml (5 mg) of chlorpheniramine can be injected subcutaneously. For dogs with rough breath sounds, vesicular sounds, or severe coughing, 2 to 5 mg of dexamethasone can be injected intramuscularly.

Other antibacterial drugs such as kanamycin, cephalosporin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, etc. can also be used. Severe cases should be treated with infusion.
