My dog is suddenly sneezing, coughing, and drooling. Is it a cold?

Question

My 5 year old labrador has been consistently sneezing and has a slight cough. This has only started over the last hour or so. He is also dribbling alot. Could he have a cold? He's up to date with vaccines and kennel cough. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male

Yes, it is possible he could have a cough! It could also be something he sniffed or something stuck in the nose. This could also be allergies, an early infection or, less common, a polyp or tumor in the nasal cavity. I would continue to watch Sam and see what happens. If his symptoms continue or worsen over then next day or two, it would be a good idea to have him checked out by a vet.
