Do dogs keep their tongues out when they have a cold?

Yes, dogs with a cold may also exhibit the phenomenon of keeping their tongues out. This is because during a cold, dogs have a severe respiratory infection, which causes there to be a lot of inflammatory exudates in their lungs. This leads to blocked respiratory tracts, making the dogs breathe rapidly and causing them to open their mouths to breathe. It is recommended to consider giving the dog雾化治疗 at this time to promote the excretion of respiratory secretions.

Symptoms of a cold

The symptoms of a cold in dogs are similar to those of other dogs. Medically speaking, a cold is called an upper respiratory infection, and it is accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and dry heaving. There are many causes of upper respiratory infections in dogs, such as distemper, pneumonia, and asthma. It is best to confirm the cause of the dog's symptoms before treating them according to the doctor's advice.

Treatment for colds

First, check your dog's temperature. If they have a fever, it is recommended to take them to the vet for a fever-lowering injection. If they only have a runny nose and sneezing, take Wangxiang Gankeling to dispel the cold and detoxify. If they have a cough, you can appropriately give them veterinary cough syrup. Keep your dog warm during their cold spell, as it is crucial. Avoid giving them baths, taking them outside to play, and feed them a proper diet of nutritional supplements and vitamin tablets to boost their immunity.

Food precautions during colds

Dogs' digestive abilities will decrease during a cold. Do not feed them raw or difficult-to-digest foods, such as cans of food that have not completely warmed up after being taken out of the refrigerator. Ensure they have plenty of rest, strengthen their nutrition, and improve their immunity. Do not bathe your dog during a cold, and avoid vigorous exercise and going out in the rain if possible.
