and Tucker's too! Donating Yorkie Yakker Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Boston, MA

| Do dogs get colds? This may be a dumb question, but can dogs catch colds? My 4 month old yorkie Tucker is acting like he has a cold. He's been sneezing & has a runny nose. Also, he keeps sort of blowing his nose - it's not really a sneeze or a snort - it sounds like he is blowing really hard out of his nose! I'm not sure if this is something that I should be concerned about or not. Should I take him to the vet or will this go away on its own?? Thanks!!! |

| When we first got Annie, after a few days she got kennel cough. Which I believe is a doggie cold. As this was our first dog, we took her to the vet. It is not necessary to take them to the vet for this. But it has to run its course. It does take a few weeks to get over. If your doggie is coughing a lot you can give him/her a 1/4 teaspoon of cough mixture. When we took her to the vet they gave us some antibiotics to help the process along. But if you are still worried, it can't hurt to take the doggie to the vet. I know I do |
