What Medication to Use for a Dog with a Fever and Cold?

Question

What medication should I use for my dog’s cold and fever?

Answer

When a dog is suffering from a cold with a fever, pediatric cold syrup can be given as treatment. When brewing, use warm water and add a little less than the recommended amount. Then, using a syringe, draw out the syrup, remove the needle, and gently place the syringe at the corner of the dog’s mouth. Cup the dog’s mouth with both hands and slowly inject the medication. This method helps prevent the syrup from spilling out and wasting, as well as avoiding choking the dog. Additionally, you can add some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication if needed. If the condition does not improve, it is immediate to take the dog to a professional veterinarian for treatment.
