Now it is late autumn, and it is getting closer and closer to winter, so the dog cold has become very easy to appear, as a shoveling officer, we will definitely be afraid of the dog cold, and some shovelers will even have a little gain and loss. In order to solve this problem from the root, in fact, we usually have to pay attention to a lot of things from the details, and we will know how to pay attention to and prevent dogs from catching colds. However, winter is cold after all... There is no way, we can only judge whether the dog has a cold through some symptoms.
As long as through some symptoms, we can correctly determine whether the dog has a cold, then we can prevent the problem of the dog getting sick earlier, such as runny nose, increased breathing, and different degrees of increased body temperature. Among them, the skin temperature is uneven, and the ends of the limbs and the tip of the ear are also characterized by coldness. If it is viral, it is mainly manifested as - lack of energy, loss of appetite, accelerated breathing, increased body temperature; conjunctival flushing, mild swelling, shyness, tears; cough, runny nose, the outflow of nasal discharge is initially serous, and later becomes yellow viscous.

In fact, in general, if it is a common cold, the shovelers do not need to worry too much, because usually the duration of the dog's cold will not be long, about a week or two, and many shovelers will have a question, do dogs have to take medicine for a cold? Veterinarian Bob came to refute the rumors: if it is not serious, it is really not needed! But dogs from the time of onset of the time of calculation is more sensitive, cold onset process from a few weeks to one or two months, especially some of the usual malnutrition and low resistance to the dog is particularly prone to cold, this shoveling officer is to pay attention to Oh! After all, dogs are more fragile, and they have to pay attention to these things!
Oh, and another point, is that when many shovelers go out to walk their dogs, it is best to put warm clothes on the dogs, and don't feel as if dogs are born with dog hair protection, you can rest assured. If there is a strong wind or rain, then try not to take the dog out, you can choose to play at home, sports. If it is a snowy day in winter, remember to wipe off the snow and dirt on the dog's foot pad in time after returning home, so as not to give the dog's foot a second frostbite.
If it is in some cities where the home has not yet been turned on and there is no heating, the shovelers can build a warmer kennel for the dog, and add a few layers of mats and small quilts to the dog. If none of the above methods are useful, the shoveler will need to give the dog some extra heating equipment, heaters, low-power electric blankets and so on are all good choices.
After the dog catches a cold, the medication is also a point that needs to be paid more attention to by the shoveler - the amount of the agent should be paid attention to.
In terms of medication, pet medication is preferred, and if there is an emergency, children's medication can also be selected. Moreover, the dosage should also be determined according to the weight of the dog. Of course, the best thing is to take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment, and solve the dog's problem through the hospital's treatment method, generally speaking, a shot can be solved, after all, the doctor is still more professional than the shoveler, right?
Veterinary Bob Kop:
When the dog has a cold, in addition to some discomfort in the body, it is still very weak, and the shoveler should properly supplement the dog with some nutrition at this time. After all, sometimes people have a cold and need old hen soup to make up for it, right?
During the time when the dog is sick, in addition to feeding the dog food, you can cook some nutritious meat porridge and chicken soup to increase the nutrition of the dog, so as to enhance the resistance, and you can also feed some fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples and so on. In fact, as long as the shoveler takes good care of them and gives them more mental and physical care, the dog will definitely get rid of the cold as soon as possible!
