- Runny nose caused by upper respiratory infection
The main cause of a dog's runny nose is considered to be upper respiratory infection, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, lethargy, and dry nose. Treatment involves using dog-specific cold medicines and suggesting feeding the dog food containing ingredients such as doxycycline and Maxing Shigan powder. During treatment, it is necessary to keep the dog warm and feed it nutrient-rich food to improve its immune system.
- Runny nose caused by inhaling foreign objects
When a dog inhales foreign objects that irritate the nasal cavity, it is prone to a runny nose and may also sneeze. This type of runny nose usually disappears in a short period.
- Runny nose caused by viral diseases
Dogs infected with viral diseases will develop a runny nose, such as canine parainfluenza virus infection and canine distemper virus infection. Symptoms will also include poor mental and appetite, elevated temperature, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is necessary to timely detect viral diseases in dogs. If the runny nose is caused by a viral disease, antiviral treatment should be given promptly.
Other suggestions:
When a dog is 45 days old and in good health, it can be taken to the pet hospital for vaccination. If the dog is newly brought home, it is recommended to raise it at home for a week first to observe if there are any abnormalities.
After the dog has received three doses of the vaccine, it is best to wait for 15 days to check for antibodies. If the antibodies are not up to standard, the vaccine should be given promptly.
During the vaccination period or before vaccination, do not bathe the dog or take it outdoors to avoid infection due to a low resistance.
