The early symptoms of many infectious diseases in dogs are very similar to those of a cold. Such as the early symptoms of canine hyperthermia, the early symptoms of parvovirus disease, etc., the clinical symptoms are generally elevated body temperature, sneezing, embarrassing tears, watery nasal discharge and other symptoms. Due to lack of experience, some owners are prone to treat common serious infectious diseases as colds, resulting in misdiagnosis and wrong treatment measures, resulting in serious consequences of dog death.

The dog is depressed, has anorexia or abolition, flushing of the conjunctiva, and tears in the eyes. There is a cough, the nasal discharge is pus-like, the breathing is accelerated, the body temperature rises, and the chills are shivering.

Mainly manifested as high fever. In addition to having cold symptoms, conjunctivitis and intestinal catarrh are often accompanied.
True cold in dogs is a systemic symptom characterized by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract mucosa. Colds are generally more common in early spring, late autumn and when the climate changes suddenly. Most of the causes are due to sudden cold stimulation, such as being attacked by thieves in winter, sleeping in the cold season, being drenched in the rain, and not drying the dog’s hair in time after bathing the dog.
Fake cold in dogs is generally more common in the early stages of an infectious disease, and actually has other special symptoms. When dogs are infected with canine distemper virus, the body temperature is generally bidirectional fever, and the body temperature is high and low, and most sick dogs have symptoms of eye mucus. In the early stage of parvovirus, it is mainly accompanied by main symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, and is usually vomiting first and then diarrhea.
