Question

Can dogs get colds? She's been a bit sneezy and sleeping a lot more than usual. Other than that everything is normal. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old

Yes, dogs can get respiratory infections. I think it would be a good idea to take her into the vet for an exam if her symptoms continue over the next 48 hours. She may benefit from some antibiotics to help with the infection.
