What to feed a sick Teddy dog

First, check your dog's temperature. If it exceeds 39.2°C, it has a fever. It is recommended to go to a pet hospital for a fever-reducing injection. If the dog only has symptoms like sneezing and running nose without other complications, you can give it dog-specific cold medicine. Remember, keeping your dog warm is also important. During the illness, try not to take your dog outside for walks or give it baths.
