A cold is caused by a virus so there is no treatment or it. You can give a little bit of honey and lemon to soothe the throat if it is bad or get an antinflammatory from your vet if you think Star is bunged up. In a young pup a check up would be wise as their immune system is not as good and a cold might actually be something more sinister that needs antibiotics.
