My dog has a cold. Does he need to see a vet for immediate treatment?

Question

My Dog has a cold what can I do for him?

Destini R. Holloway, DVM · Accepted Answer

Poor guy. Unfortunately dog colds (caused by bacterial infection) are not like people colds (caused by viruses); therefore you will need to get your pet treated with antibiotics prescribed by your local veterinarian. Also the vet will check your pets lungs and overall health to ensure nothing more serious is going on, like pneumonia or a fungal infection. So it is best to take him in to the vet soon for appropriate care. I hope your pup gets well soon!
