How do you know if your dog has a cold?

olive has had a drip coming from her nose lately, and been sneezing a bit more than usual. Can a dog catch a cold. And it it normal for their nose to drip a bit or is it something else? she is acting normal and like her usual self, but i was woundering? :wink:

I think so, Lauren. I believe they can catch a cold, too. If she's acting normal, though, I wouldn't worry too much. As long as she's still eating, drinking and pottying on schedule, just keep an eye on her.
That's a sign our Ben is suffering through allergy season. Which accounts for most of the year here.
Dogs can get upper respiatory infections which can be evident if a lot of sneezing is involved. I would just keep an eye on her and if it gets worse or develops into a cough take her to the vet for antibiotics.
Hannah gets a drippy nose here and there. She doesn't sneeze though. I wouldn't worry unless she starts acting different. Hope Olive feels better.
WELL SHE WAS KIN OF SLOW AND WEIRD LAST NIGHT, SO I TOOK HER TO THE VET THIS MORNING AND LOW AND BEHOLD SHE WAS DIGANOSED WITH A COLD. THERE I S MOST LIKELY A TECHNICAL NAME FOR IT BUT IN SIMPLE TERMT SHE HAS A COLD AND I SNOW ON AN ANTIBOTIC. HER TEMP WAS HIGH TOO! SO GLAD I ASKED. SO I GUESS THAT ANSWERS IT A DOG CAN GET A COLD TOO.! NOW SHE WILL GET LOST OF TLC THIS WEEKEND . dOGS AND HUMANS CAN'T PASS SICKNESS ...RIGHT? I WILL HIT THE ENCYCLOPEDIA ON THAT ONE I SUPPOSE :oops: OK WELL THANKS ALL :D
I hope Olive starts to feel better soon. Definitely lots of TLC :D .
Yup, doggie babies do well with lots of love and kisses when sick....snuggles work wonders for the cold....
