When people starts to sneeze and sniffle it means that the cold months have sneaked in. People with colds will be noticed to have red nose and watery eyes. Hankies and Kleenex will be in great demand as these signs of a cold will be exhibited by a big portion of the populace. The idea that pet dogs would stick with the master through thick and thin seems to be true as just like its master the dog can have a cold too. Although the dog will not have a reddened nose the watery eyes, sneezing, sniffling and coughing are signs that the dog has a cold too.
Humans normally do not need treatments for cold as this ordinary illness would be gone after a few days. Commonly, a bowl of hot soup, a cup of steaming tea and a day in bed would make the cold go away. Would the hot soup or the cup of tea be effective to cure the dog's cold too? Cold weather is not the only reason why dogs can have colds. A pet with a cold can transmit the ailment to other pets. Viruses and germs as well as stress can affect a dog with a weak immune system.
We know how energetic and inquisitive dogs are. Dogs are seen often enjoying romping on the snow and heavy pouring rain would not stop a dog from trailing a prey and as expected, the dog would have a cold.
A cold is an ordinary non-serious illness that is normally allowed to run its course as after a day or two the cold will be gone. Dog owners are not really worried if the pet has a cold as just like in humans, the cold of the pet will be gone after a few days. An owner though can make the ailing pet comfortable. A dog with cold must be kept warm.
Prevent the dog from going out in the cold at least while the dog is sniffling. Supportive therapy would prevent the pet's cold from getting worse. To strengthen the immune system provide the dog with nutritious foods. The dog will benefit from vitamins and supplements too. A steam filled bathroom will unclog the nasal passage and allow the dog to breathe more easily. Give the dog plenty of water to drink as more fluids will hasten the dog's recovery. Colds normally last for a few days and the dog will be good as new but if the dog's cold lingers and the dog is showing other symptoms a vet's consult will be necessary.
