The weather outside being cold does NOT cause a cold. VIRUSES cause colds! Definitely bring this little guy to the vet immediately. I'm sorry you received a sick puppy. This is one of the reasons I try to discourage people from not meeting a dog before you buy it. This dog will probably need antibiotics and who knows what else might be wrong with it. Try to get into a vet ASAP. If the dog is coughing all the time like that, hour on the hour then there is a STRONG possibility it is in his lungs (phenomena). I have had it myself and you'll be surprised how quickly it goes from coughing a lot to not being able to breathe. If you can't make an appointment TODAY. Listen for wheezing and if he is still constantly coughing consider calling the emergency vet. PLEASE keep us posted on the little guy! He's really a cute, big guy. How old is he?
