The weather is very hot recently, and the puppy's nose is very wet, but if it feels hot, is it sick? I can eat and sleep at ordinary times, and I am in good spirits.
First, the dog's cold symptoms
If the dog catches a cold, the main symptoms are: listlessness, apathy, cold ears and runny nose, elevated body temperature (the dog owner can touch the inside of the dog's thigh with his hand, and he should feel hot), and the dog also coughs.
Dogs can easily change from a cold to pneumonia if they are not treated in time.
Second, the dog cold prevention and treatment drugs
1, dogs can give some children anti-cold drugs in the early stage, such as Xiaoer Ganmao Granules and Ganmao Granules; However, it should be noted that the doses are all children's doses and should not be given to adult dogs.
2. Dogs with cough symptoms can take compound licorice tablets orally, 3-4 tablets/time, twice a day.
3. You can also take aspirin 1-2 tablets/time in the early stage; Or intramuscular injection of 30% metamizole sodium, 1-2 times a day, 1 time, 2 ml each time.
4, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory: the normal body temperature of dogs does not exceed 39.3℃. When you catch a cold, the temperature of the sick dog exceeds 40℃, so you can chill. Antongding is commonly used, and 0.5~2 ml is injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly according to individual size. The traditional Chinese medicine can be Bupleurum injection, which has a good curative effect.
5, if you want to worry about dogs complicated with infection, penicillin is the first choice. 400,000 ~ 800,000 units of intramuscular injection, twice a day, and other antibacterial drugs such as kanamycin, cephalosporin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin can also be selected. Critical cases should be treated with infusion. Penicillin, dexamethasone and vitamin C can be added to 10% glucose solution for intravenous drip.
Third, matters needing attention:
1, the dosage of dogs under three months should not exceed a quarter of that of adults; Less than six months, not more than one-third of adults; The dosage of adult dogs is only one third of that of adult dogs.
2. Dog owners should strengthen the daily cold-resistant exercise of dogs to enhance their resistance to colds.
