When a dog catches a cold, the pet owner must take effective countermeasures based on the severity and severeness of the fever and cold, and feed some special pet-based medicines if necessary. Instead of immediately considering feeding medicines, especially those purchased by people (including children's medicines). Then, the editor below will give some examples of countermeasures about dogs’ colds. Pet owners who need it can refer to it appropriately:
1, and immediately carry out cold and warm measures
After you find that your dog has a cold and cough and runny nose, the pet owner should immediately take effective countermeasures to prevent the dog from catching a cold again.
For this, if it is in a cold winter, you can cover the dog with a velvet blanket or put a hand warmer bag in the quilt to insulate it. However, be careful that the temperature of the hand warmer bag should be maintained at around 38 degrees that is similar to the human body temperature of the dog to prevent burns the dog. In response to the hot temperature, it is recommended to adjust the indoor temperature and keep the dog in a warm and dry house as much as possible.
2. Improve nutritional supplements
After a dog catches a cold, the human body will be weak and its resistance will be very poor. You can fill some milk powder for the dog during the cold period to help the dog fill the nutrients needed by the human body during the fever and cold period, so that it has sufficient nutritional value and energy to defeat the fever and cold. In addition, if you need a fever and cold condition, you can also use it with a pet-specific cold powder, Guikan + Alivi application.
3, check whether people have high fevers
When they have fevers, they are inevitably hot, or even high fevers, and dogs are the same. Regarding this matter, it is recommended that pet owners use pet electronic thermometer or mercury thermometer to measure their dog's body temperature on time. Once they find that the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, they are recommended to send it to the pet hospital outpatient clinic immediately and feed antipyretic drugs under the guidance of a pet doctor. If necessary, it is very likely that the fever-reducing injection and some drip are required.
Finally, the editor will remind pet owners again that when the dog has a fever and cold and has symptoms, there is no need to blindly follow the trend and take adults' medications and cold powders. The drug has major adverse reactions, and the dosage taken by adults is much higher than the dosage required by dogs. If the effort fails, it will cause higher damage to the dog.
