Pet owners should take corresponding measures based on the severity of the dog's cold. If necessary, they can feed some special medicines for pets. Rather than taking medicine directly, especially artificial medicine (including children's medicines). Therefore, the following pet doctor will list some measures for dogs to catch a cold. Pet owners in need can refer to it appropriately:
1. Pay attention to keeping warm.
After dogs have symptoms such as cold, cough, runny nose, etc., pet owners should take corresponding warm measures in time to prevent the dog from catching a cold again.
For this, if it is very cold in winter, you can cover the dog with a blanket or put some hot water bags in the nest to keep warm. However, it should be noted that the temperature of the hot water bag should be about the same as the dog's body temperature, and should be kept at about 38 degrees to avoid burning the dog. If it is a hot day, it is recommended to keep the dog at room temperature and try to keep it in a warm and dry room.
The second is to strengthen nutritional supplements.
When a dog catches a cold, the dog will be weak and has poor resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement some goat milk to help the dog replenish the nutrients needed by the body during the cold so that it has enough nutrition and physical strength to resist the cold. Also, if you have a cold, you can also use it with the special cold medicine for pets, Kean + Alivi.
3. Check whether there is fever.
When people catch a cold, they will inevitably have fever or even fever, and the same is true for dogs. In response to this point, it is recommended that pet owners use pet body thermometer or mercury thermometer to measure their body temperature regularly. If they find that the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, they should be sent to the pet hospital immediately and fed by the veterinarian. If necessary, antipyretics and infusions can be used.
In the end, Xiaopeng Doctor wants to remind pet owners again that when dogs have symptoms such as colds and fevers, they should not blindly take adult cold medicines to the dog. Western medicines have great side effects, while adults take more medicine than dogs. If you are not effective, the dog will suffer greater harm.
