My dog has mild cold symptoms. Can I give her baby liver for iron?

Question

I took my chihuahua outside last night to go to the bathroom and when I got up this morning she look like she had a cold with watering nose and a cold nose... She seems like she wants to stay under the covers but she still wants to play a little as she drinks water and goes pee and poo.... I was wondering I think she may have a slight cold can I give her a baby liver in order to bring her iron up ? She does get dry food. And times get chicken. Or beef. From us in bite forms but do eat veges. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 11 months old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Clear water from the nose and the temperature of the nose are no indicative of any disease process. This happens in healthy pets as well. If she does have an upper respiratory issue, baby liver or iron will not help her. If you are concerned about an infection you can take her temperature rectally. Anything over 102.5 is a fever in a dog. If that is the case, I would take her to a vet for a full physical exam and possible blood work and x-rays to determine what is going on and her best treatment options. If her temperature is normal (less than 102.5) I would continue to monitor Honey for green or yellow nasal discharge, coughing, sneezing, lethargy, or anorexia. If those signs are noted, I would see your vet. Good luck and kisses to Honey Bunny!
